Do you have icons for My Computer, My Documents, My Network Places, and/or Internet Explorer on your Windows XP desktop? And if so, would you like to change how the icons look?
1. Right-click an empty area of the desktop and choose "Properties".
2. When the "Display Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "Desktop" tab.
3. Click the "Customize Desktop" button.
4. A "Desktop Items" dialog box will appear. Make sure the "General" tab is selected.
5. Click on an icon to change:
* My Computer
* My Documents
* My Network Places
* Recycle Bin (full)
* Recycle Bin (empty)
6. Click "Change Icon".
7. If you like one of the available icons, choose one and click "OK". Or, you can browse your system for more icons including those you may have downloaded from the Internet. You can also use the icons embedded in executable files, DLLs, etc.
For a bunch of icons, enter this next to the "Browse" button and press ENTER:
%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
8. Click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close them.

You can do it in two ways. The simplest way is to change the Theme of your desktop from Display Properties>Themes.
The other way is from Display Properties>Desktop click on Customize Desktop. Then you can select your desktop icons and press Change Icon. OK???

I use a program called Tune-Up 2006, it actually changed my entire icons and desktop. They have really nice icon packages and desktop thems. You can send me your email and I will send you a keycode generator to get the full program.

You could download them for free from a number of websites. Like www.crystalxp.net or www.wincustomize.org and many others. Why not try to google it?
