  3. @ PC Optimization, You can right click on the icon you want to change the picture for, and then select properties. A new properties window will popup, under shortcut tab (for shortcuts)/customize (for folders) click on change icon (for shortcuts)/choose icon (for folders). Now browse and choose the desired picture you wan to select. Click on Apply then click on OK. And your icon is selected.

  5. Sure, you can change the way the icon looks by going to that particular icon for which you would like to change the image--> Right click on it--> select properties--> click the customise tab on the top--> and then click on change Icon, which will be the last option and then select the appropriate icon of your choice.
