This is not to say that the Windows operating system allows you to completely customize its appearance, but nothing will prevent you from changing the icon. This can be done with some manipulation of the properties of the shortcut.
Instructions
Step 1
Convert your icon from.
Step 2
Install the icon. This can be done in several ways, depending on what icon you want to change. If it's a folder, right-click on it, then click Property> Preferences> Change Icon, specify the path to the icon, and click OK. If it's any other shortcut, right-click on it and in the menu that opens, click Property> Shortcut> Change Icon. Next, specify the path to the icon and click OK.
Step 3
In addition, there is a faster way to change the icons of objects that are on the desktop. But not all, but only those that exist there from the very beginning: "My Computer", an empty and full "Trash", "Network", etc.
Step 4
If your operating system is Windows 7, right-click an empty space on your desktop and select Personalize> Change Desktop Icons from the menu that appears. Then, in the central part of the window, select the object whose icon you want to change, click on "Change icon", specify the path to the icon and click OK.
Step 5
If your OS is Windows XP, then also right-click on an empty space on the desktop, and then Properties> Desktop> Desktop Settings. Then click on "Change icon", select the icon and OK.
