Run the <b>IconChanger</b> program from <em style="background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Start -> <b>All Programs</b></em> and you should see an interface as shown below:</div>
<div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; border: 0px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Now you will see a window stating that “Choose an object whose icon you want to change”. Click on the<b> “OK” button.</b></div>
</li>
<li style="background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; border: 0px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Icon changer will <b>automatically</b> search for all the icons on your <b>“C:\ drive”</b> so that you can select any one of those.

Now a popup window will <b>appear</b> and ask you to select from either of these two options.</div>
<ul style="background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; border: 0px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em 2.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
