This may seem like a silly question, for you seasoned "desktoppers"..... How do I change the icon?
I have looked, and found nothing regarding this.
As always, I am extremely grateful, to all who help!
Thanks in advance guys

Can't tell you exactly HOW to change the icon - but I can get you to a similar place. Create a new shortcut on the desktop:
Right-click on a blank part of the Desktop
Pick New | Shortcut
In the top box of the Create Shortcut Wizard, click browse and find this file:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Show Desktop.scf"
Then click Next - give it a name and click finish.
Now right click your new icon, and select Properties then click on CHANGE ICON - select whatever icon you want etc etc etc. You can then drag that 'shortcut' down to the Quick Launch bar or whatever you want....

if you're talking about the one in the quicklaunch (where else would it be? ) the shortcut is located in C:\Documents and Settings\<Your User Name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

you could use a program like E-Icons or Microangelo to change it

what they said.......................................

If you get Micro..........you can just rt. click and choose "Apperance" or go through properties and change it that way.

You will want to start collecting icons. I store icons in My documents in a folder named, of course, Icons.

E-icons, Iconpackager, etc. have icon libraries to choose from but there are better ones out there.

forgot one other thing -- why bother with an icon or the 'quick launch' at all. Just hold down the windows Logo key and press D. Bingo - all windows minimized and your desktop.

You can tell I started with computers BW (Before Windows) cause I use tons of Keyboard Shortcuts.

Just found this:

I recommend IconPackager...(Used it a few weeks ago)
Works great..

Okay, here's the deal. I have been collecting chrome icons for a couple of months to go with this really cool halloween wallpaper I found. What I am attempting to do is have all the quick launch buttons chrome(that is why I don't just minimize).
I am a little slow maybe but I have e-icons and I couldn't find anything in there to do what I wanted.
If I do as you suggest LS, what do I do with the other icon? (stupid question?)
@Lynch, I didn't get what you posted. Bad link.
Thanks all.

I just clicked the link and it works. What's amazing about this icon changer is - it's only 23kb!

O.K. Thanks Lynch, it's working now. for some reason your pic disappeared too, but it's back now.?????
I'm going to check it out right now!

If you make your own shortcut to SHOW DESKTOP in the admin folder as indicated in my post - you can then delete SHOW DESKTOP from the same folder in your user name - then it won't be in the QUICK LAUNCH bar. You can always copy it back later when you change styles.

Well LS, something is screwed up. I did as you suggested, but there isn't "show.... " under internet explorer, instead it's listed under my user name, so what? Just create shortcut to administrator? I'm confused

It should be in Z:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
where Z is your hard drive with XP on it and xxx could be ADMINISTRATOR, YOUR NAME, etc. There are several places to find it.

O.k., thanks I figured it out and I got what I wanted.
Thanks all!
