How can I put a custom icon on the MY COMPUTER folder on my desktop?

I am using windows 7 ultimate.  I recently had to reinstall my OS.  Before the reinstall, I had all my icons changed other than the regular folder photos.  I did this by clicking on each icon... Properties... Customize... Go to the icon... TADA!  For some reason, now I can't get that option when I right click on my computer and go to properties.  This is not an option.  Is there something else I should go for it?  Since a few years I did it originally, and I have the little icon that used to be on this issue - I can't put anywhere.

batch... If the first has, b, c steps are those that I said that I had made in my question.

"Click on the * my computer * folder of ANYWHERE opens the computer management screen - so not help using the folder location."

I found a way on my own since I posted.  For those who want something else have better/different desktop icons for your system on the desktop folders

right click on the open space on the desk... and customize

in the left column, there is a selection to change the icons * facepalm * can't imagine how I missed that before.  This will give you a screen context for what you do and don't want on the office and a field to change the icons too.
I think it is the only place to change those for
my computer
network
Control Panel
Recycle Bin
hope that helps someone else

  • How can I put a 'Read' option in the 'Registration' section on windows 7?

    How to put a "reading of-> speakers ' in my region 'Record' to play music via windows media player, through my registration line, without the actual microphone sound recording?

    example:

    If I joined a Skype call and changed my registration on the "speakers" they hear my music, but not me

    There is a program called Audacity: Free Audio Editor and recorder that has a setting to record directly from check her into speakers without a microphone.

    I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    Reference Dell
    Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU 3.00 GHz 2.99 GHz
    RAM: 4 GB

    Not really sure what you're trying to do.

    You want to listen to music while recording a separate source? You can't with the establishment you currently have.
    Or do you want to listen to music while on Skype, but without other Skypists hear what you play? You can't with the establishment you currently have.
    In both cases, the audio device can only deal with a stream at the same time. Everything you put into it will come out, we cannot dissociate the sources. If you have 2 choices:
    -purchase and install a second audio device
    -Download and install a virtual audio device (Google and you'll find them, some are free)
    I may have misunderstood, if this is a re post and be more specific.
    See you soon,.

    I added the gTranslate for Firefox extension. It is clearly shown in the list of current extensions that I have. I tried to place a shortcut icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the page module (back side where the page zoom-in/zoom icons are displayed).

    Procedure, I used: right click on the empty space on the toolbar at the bottom of page module. Click "Customize". Opens the square shape of the icons, but I don't see anything for the extension of gTranslate, I could "drag / drop" on the toolbar of the add-on.

    Ask for help with this issue.

    gTranslate not icons. You must select the text, right-click and hover the mouse over the menu item translate... and wait that the translated text to appear. You can also change languages in the submenu, or alternatively via Firefox Tools (Alt + T) > Addons > Extensions, gTranslate Options.

  • How can I keep my dock icons open the browser to move overtime, they reduce to the minimum

    Hi guys

    Browser icons that represent the open browser windows in the dock move to the right, after they are reduced to a minimum. I would like that they to minimize in the same place every time. Is this possible?

    Thank you!

    Hello hectc7,

    If you wish to have your windows minimize, in the same place on the dock, whenever you might consider enabling the option reduce Windows in the system preferences application icon > Dock.

    Minimize windows in the application icon

    Reduce a window of the app to the app icon in the Dock. If the option is disabled, the window is reduced to an area at the end of the dock.
