Any operating system interface icon can be changed. If the style of the operating system seems too boring to you, you can experiment and create something new. For example, by changing the standard “My Computer” icon to a more interesting and unusual one, you can update the operating system interface, create something more non-standard, to suit your style.
Necessary
Computer, TuneUp program
Instructions
Step 1
The system icons of any operating system cannot be changed in a standard way. To do this, you will have to use special programs. One of these programs is TuneUp. Download it from the Internet and install it on your computer. With this program, you will get additional visualization of the operating system interface.
Step 2
Run TuneUp. Please note that the first time the program will run longer than usual. This is due to the fact that after the first start it will scan the state of the operating system. After scanning, click OK and the program will optimize all Windows settings. After that, you will be taken to the main menu of the program, in which you should study its interface. The main menu of the program is located at the top and is represented by only six components. From these components select "Windows Setup". In the window that appears, pay attention to the line "Change the appearance of Windows"
Step 3
Below this line are the components with which you can change the interface of the operating system. Select the Windows Personalization component. A window with additional parameters will open. Pay attention to the line "Select a task". Below this line is an additional toolbar. In this panel, select Change Icons and Names for System Items.
Step 4
A list of system element icons appears in the middle of the window. Select "Computer". On the right side of the window there is a list of commands that can be used for the selected icon. Select the Replace Icon command. A window will appear with icons that can be installed instead of the standard one. As a rule, all icons are from the general Windows set. If you have your own interesting icons, click "Browse" and specify the path to them. If you wish, you can download additional My Computer icons from the Internet.
