You have to tell us your operating system, Joe.

This works for XP-Pro, let us know if it works for XP-Home:

Right click on folder>Properties>Customize

From there you can assign a picture to the folder, or select a new icon.

If you choose to select a picture, you will only see it if you have VIEW set to THUMBNAILS.

If you choose ICONS there are premade ones, or you can make your own with PAINT or similar drawing programs. There are even Icon Maker programs.

I think I'm going to have to get me some of that registry cleaner on a link from Big Bob's reference.
