Find on the net, images (.jpg's, .gif's, .png's) of what you want %26amp; download (or 'prntscrn' %26amp; crop), then save the ready image.



Creating your own XP icon:

Take the foto you want as an icon; process/save as an '; .ico '; file.

I use '; irfanview '; for this, but other app's will do it also.

With the image open, File%26gt; Save as...%26gt; select from drop menu '.ico' %26gt; OK out.



Note that large fotos, with lots of detail tend to get 'washed' out, so your end product may not be quite what you envision.

Put that new image into 'icons' folder:

Icons folder:

My computer%26gt; 'c' drive%26gt; Windows%26gt; System 32%26gt; Icons



Back on the desktop, right click the current icon to be changed%26gt; Properties%26gt; Change Icon%26gt; Browse...%26gt; navigate to the Icon folder %26amp; select...
