Hi Wesley Vogel,

Thanks for your information.
I had browsed to the following link and find the suggestion. Under the "No
Icons Available" section, it was suggested to type a particular link to get
the new icon. However, if I do not the like or prefer the icon under this
folder, is there any other web-site that I can choose and download more
icons.

Thanks for your asssitance.

Howdy Gigi,

Right click folder | Properties | Customize tab | Change Icon button |
Browse button | Navigate to where you have Icons stored. I.e. Somewhere
that you have saved icons, like C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\My
Documents or %homepath%\ICONS

Change Icon button
[[Click to change the icon that represents the folder in all views except
Thumbnails.]]

You can also Browse to C:\WINDOWS\system32\moricons.dll from the Change Icon
button.

[[You cannot customize the default icon for a folder in Windows; however,
you can make a shortcut to a folder and change the look of the shortcut
icon. ]]
