As you know Windows Vista and 7 contain revamped icons, many of which make the average XP user feel jealous. Rather than paying for a software, you can easily change your system icons with a few clicks of a button with "Icon Phile", a free, portable and easy-to-use program.
To change the icon displayed for a System Drive, Folder, Control Panel, Programs and other hard-to-change things:
- Simply browse through the drop-down menu at the top
- Double click on an icon or right-click on it and select "Change Icons" option
- Select the desired icon from the list
- Click on Apply button and you’re done.
Also at the top there are different buttons for saving and opening IconPhile theme packages and customizing various icon-related system settings.
There’s also a browser which allows you to customize any folder or file type you want.
It works in almost all Windows versions including Windows XP, Vista and 7.
