  • where can I get additional icons for my files and folders in xp

    I need additional icons for my files and folders on windows xp is there a site where I can download for free and instantly put them in the folder icon

    Hi Robert,.

    I see that you want additional icons for files and folders in xp. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2. what security software is installed on the computer?

    3. what icons are you looking for?

    I suggest using your favorite search engine and look for all Web sites for free icons. You can download the icons based on the category and the icon you want. If you have downloaded a package of any icon, click on the downloaded zip file. The file will unpack once you click on it and reveal the subfolders as 'PNG' "ICO" or "Readme." Click the folder for the ICO to reveal the different icons in the package. Click on one of the icons to see what it looks like.

    To make a shortcut to a folder and change the look of the shortcut icon:

    1 - Open my computer and locate the folder you want.

    2-click right on the folder and then click create a shortcut. If you are prompted to place the shortcut on the desktop, click Yes.

    3-click right on the shortcut you created, click Properties, and then click change icon.

    4 - Click on the picture of the icon you want the shortcut to use, click OK, and then click OK.

It has an oval icon below it, and the other which seems to be a symbol of infinity. I'm not sure what each represents. Once again I have to assume one is for black in color. I have searched online for an answer, but all the 'manual' says is to check level, which does not mean the icons. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Windows Explorer does not view selected for folders

    Hello
     
    I want to keep the same view of the folder every time that I have inside. But it seems that Vista has its own mind and prevents the display of the folder according to the content (photos/video/data, etc) of switching details in list of thumbnails, etc...

    I don't like it and should not happen.

    How can I stop it be done. A user must have control over the way in which he wants to use the folder.

    Help, please

    Concerning

    Open a folder, click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options. On the display tab, make sure you don't forget not the display settings for each folder is selected under Advanced settings (to half way down the list of parameters). If it is already selected, then we need a troubleshooting. William Keener | Blog

  • Icon for Windows Media Player in the taskbar

    I changed the icon of the shortcut of Windows Media Player.  When I open Windows Media Player, I would like the icon in the taskbar to be the same icon for the shortcut.  How can I accomplish this?

    Windows 10.

    As you can see in the video, I followed the 'instructions' perfectly exactly, but clicking on the newly pinned icon translates into an 'extra' icon (the icon of Windows Media Player).  Of course, the pinned custom icon remains, of course, but another appears.  And it happens the same on all operating systems that allow pinning to taskbar (7, 8, 8.1 and 10.) If you can show otherwise I'll PayPal payment for your trouble.
