In Win 98, you need third party software to change folder icons...Windows XP allows you to do this, but not the earlier versions...in Win 98, the only icons you can change are shortcuts (I believe)
Search the internet and you should find lots of freeware/shareware that lets you change folder icons.

The icons I want to change are the ones you make on your desktop using "New Folder". I have a folder that I've named "Tools" into which I've put a number of Windows tools shortcuts. I have a number of other folders on my desktop that all look the same and I'd like to change the icon from the folder to a different icon. I know how to change shortcut icons but they usually look like the program so I don't need to. It's just these generic folders that I want to change. When I try to change it in 'display properties' it will let me navigate to it but won't let me change it, just whatever is inside of it. What am I missing?
