To use your own pictures, you need to save the files in .ico format, not .jpg. If you're using Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, you can download a plugin (http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/) to help more easily create your icons. If not, you can find several programs to convert your pictures into icons by going to http://www.newfreedownloads.com/find/icon-maker.html . Once you are done, you can then right-click on an icon, go to Properties, push the "Change Icon" button in the Properties window, then browse to your new icon. Some folders or programs will not allow you to change the icon, but most will (and there may be a work-around for those that don't but I'm not really sure about that).
