A while back on Ars in the BF, there was something about having custom icons for folders in Explorer.

Oh please. It's all good here :tongue: ;)

As for custom icons, I'm not certain teh most direct way to go about it as I'm stuck in front of an NT 4 box all day at work. In xp though I know it's cake. You just go to the folder's poroperties, and it's in there someplace. In 98 there was a "Customize this folder" option on the context menu, but I don't remember if it did icons anymore.

Damn, I swear I just read about this in a mag -- like PC Mag or MaxPC.  I'll see if I can find it, or if I'm taking the wrong crack today.

Well, the box in question is 2K. I'm thinking it's somewhere in the "Customize folder", but I must be missing it...

The great swami is bringing me a vision, YES! I can barely make it out, it appears to be multi colored, it has green, red, yellow, blue, green and red in it!

Wait! I can make out a letter! It appears to be letters sitauted in a orderly fashion. I can make out the first one, yes! It's a G!

Oh my goodness, it forms a word, the word is .....

[color=Green]G[color=red]o[color=yellow]o[color=blue]g[color=green]l[color=red]e[/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color]

Seriously try google, I'm sure it'd have a few hits. You can always get a complete IE skin from a variety of places, but, they're ghey.
