    This method doesn't work. As Windows and Program is protected folders. But I still want to change the Folder's icon , any ideas?

    Found a way!

    Solution: Microangelo On Display
    How? Install, right-click on Folder "Appearance" "Choose Icon.."

    Problem solved. Now I just need to know how to remove that dang Explorer Context Menu "Setup desk background"
