Changing the Look of Your Icons in Windows Vista
April 23rd, 2008 . by Markus - Add a Comment
In the post the other day I talked about cleaning up your desktop in Windows XP, so today I thought I’d mention a little tool for Windows Vista that can ’spice’ up your desktop. It’s not a desktop cleaner, rather it lets you change the look of certain icons on your desktop.
This feature is a new tool to Vista and it comes in the new area of Personalize in Vista. Simply follow these points to get started on changing your icons;
- Right click on your desktop, click Personalize
- In the left hand column click Change Desktop Icons
- Now click on the icon you want to change
- Click Change Icon
- Here you can select whatever look you want for that icon
- Click OK then Apply
- It’s a simple but fun tool you can play around with and redesign your Vista desktop

HaHa i just made my recycle bin look funky. Thats a pretty useless tool, they should have made a better cleanup tool in vista rather than just design/look features
