    And there is a freeware "Folder Icon Changer v5.1" that works on everything but the C:\Windows folder. I've changed the icons on my C: drive and on my C:\Program Files folder with it (neither is changeable via Windows "Customize Folder" or "Change Icon" dialogs). It's at http://www.silvereaglesoft.com/products.htm, at the bottom of the page in the right-hand column.

    The only not-obvious thing about using it is: After you've navigated to the icon you want to change to, that icon appears in the middle of the interface, to the left; remember to click on (select) it before going on to the next step.
