Click the Change icon button and select a desired icon and click ok.

You can use another windows icon by clicking on browse and go to Computer>>>> Local Disk (c:) where C: is your hard drive for windows vista.

When you open the Local disk click double click the Windows folder>>>>>System32 then look for a file named imageres.dll and click open to see the beautiful icons to select from.

The easy and simple way to open the imageres.dll location is to just paste this \Windows\System32\imageres.dll or C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll or %SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll instead of browsing
