Is there a way to retrieve new 'folder' icons from
Microsoft that will download and install in the directory
that is utilized for this customization? Thank you.

When you right click on a folder, you have a customizable
option where you can change your folder icon.
Is there a way to download or otherwise get additional
icons to use?

Thanks in advance for the response!!

You can use any icon. But not from MS. There are thousannds of web sites with icons, hundreds of programs as well.

To make your own. Use paint to make them, save as a Bitmap file (bmp). For it to be listed in dialogs rename it to an ico file. Just make the upper left pixel a colour you are not otherwise using. While you can use photoes etc it best to be 32 x 32 in size.
