Change icons on windows desktop

You can only change the desktop items if they are in folder form (you have to have created a folder yourself ). You can do this by right clicking on the desktop > then new > then folder.

Once you have your folder and have given it a name. Right click the folder and select properties > then you should see a customize tab > then towards the bottom of that window should be a section called "folder icons" in that box should be "change icon" click that and you can select an icon of your choice.
