NOTE: This trick hasn't been tried on Win98. 

You can easily change the boring yellow folder icons to your own personalized icons. Simply create a text file and copy the following lines into it: 

[.ShellClassInfo] 

ICONFILE=Drive:\Path\Icon_name.extension 

Save this text file by the name, desktop.ini in the folder, whose icon you want to change. Now to prevent this file from getting deleted change it's attributes to Hidden and Read Only by using the ATTRIB command. 

To change the icon of a drive, create a text file containing the following lines: 

[Autorun] 

ICON=Drive:\Path\Icon_name.extension 

Save this file in the root of the drive whose icon you want to change and name it autorun.inf For Example, if you want to change the icon of a floppy, SAVE THE icon in a:\icon_name.ico One can also create a kewl icon for the Hard Disk and create a text file [autorun.inf] and store it in "c:\".
