Is there a way to change them to icons that you made yourself? If so, how do you do this?

Go into properties of the icon, change it. If you're referring to things like "My Computer" and the "Recycle Bin," it depends on what OS you're using.

Yes, those are what I'm referring to. Using WinXP HE (we should all know this by now, come on ). When I try to change those, the My Computer icon goes to explorer.exe in WINNT and everything else goes to SHELL32.dll in WINNT/SYSTEM32.

Open up the Display properities, it's somewhere in a sublevel of that, IIRC.

R-Clic on the desktop / Propeties / Desktop / Customize Desktop / Click on the Icon you wich to change and the change icon button / Search for your icon file.

Easy!

I don't want a system icon, is the thing. What I'm asking is if I can use one of my personal images to put in place of them. I would have to create a file for it, of course, but what kind of file extension would I use?

[EDIT] It's not *.ico; I already tried that.

I have two nice sets of Wiccan icons if you want them.
