Well I am currently using Windows XP, SP2.
I want to change "My Computer" icon.
I tried to do this many times, but I couldn't.
Can you folks help me in this regard?
The solution may be simple but still I couldn't figure it out.
Thank you for your answers.

This is from IT_guru - another answerer. I haven't tried it - but be my guest.
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....
8. Click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close them.

Right click your descktop and select Properties.
Choose Desktop. Look for Customize Desktop.. click it.
When the desktop items window appears you'll see the icons of My Computer, Recycle bin, My Documents and Network Places.
Choose My Computer and click Change Icon.
A Selection of Icons will appear, but you can look for your own icon by Clicking Browse.
