How do I change the default folder icon in windows? Everytime I try to change it using folder options,the default double-click action becomes find instead of open.:confused:

right click the folder whose icon you want to change-->>properties-->>customize-- >> change icon-->> select icon or browse for icon-->> Apply -->> OK

Use Tuneup Utilities, Icon Packager, Icon Tweaker or any other tweaking software and you'll be able to change most of Windows icons easily.
