General Tips - Give design to your Folders

In one of my earlier posts, I had given tips on creating folders. All these folders created manually have a similar look – they are yellow in colour and are shaped like a file folder, but have different names. They can also be given different looks to identify them more easily – or to make them more interesting. Right click on the mouse, select Properties, then Customise, then Change Icon and pick any that you select. Make sure that you do not pick one that has already been selected by the system and is on your desktop e.g. that for the Recycle Bin, or Internet Explorer etc.  Now just Apply and it’s done.
You can keep changing the image / icon or go back to the earlier one by reaching Change Icon again and then selecting the Restore Defaults. Try it. It’s simple and fun.
