How do you install the third-party icons in Windows 7

I want to make my computer looks like, it belongs to me. I'm an artist and I want that all the aspects of this computer to reflect this. I downloaded some icons of the internet to be used as spare parts for folders and icons for the office, but the system won't let me use it. The message I get when I try to use them to replace the other icons, it's that they are not icon files. When I change the .ico extension it still won't let me use it. It is even possible to use these icons to replace the annoying in Windows 7? If so, how can I do it? Where should I save these icons and how? Anyone know? I'm sick of watching all these annoying icons in this computer.

Do need to be installed somewhere in the system, so I can use them? -No, they have just needs to be somewhere on the system, not installed.

I don't think that these files are icons.  If they were you wouldn't have to change their extension to .ico.

There is normally a lot of icon managers & icon editors available in freeware version so pick up one of them & use to convert your images [as I guess they are] in icons.
