531502 2007-03-09 23:40:00 If "My Favourites" is a folder; right-click the current icon, click on 'Properties', then select the 'Customise' tab.
Click on the 'Change icon' button, then choose 'Browse' (unless the following file name is already selected). Select your Local disc (usually {C:}) then navigate to the aforementioned file - Windows/System32/shell32.dll

Browse through the displayed icons until you see the green tree, and select it. (mine is in the 11th column, second row down).

531503 2007-03-10 06:28:00 Brian B...I see what you mean about getting the Green Tree Icon.......but.
Favotites is on the toolbar of various Screens, My Documents, for instance. Right clickig on this does not bring a 'Drop Down' to make choices from. PJ

When you have changed the icon as described by Brian, right click on it, drag to Desktop, and make a shortcut there.
