Hi there!
this is very easy and simple way to edit your folder's icon I didn't know much about this technique before after this tutorial I must say that I have come to that position to create my own icons instead of buying any Cd for it. and your site trainingshell is very useful site for someone like me to get skilled.

thanks rebecca

dear rebecca your tutorial introduced me a new technique that proved to be great entertainment to change icons and showing one's computer its own by replacing icons with one's own icon. now I can say my computer my own because of this technique.
