Some people want to make their file explorer/desktop look cooler, if you are one of them, then you are in right place. So let's begin.

Step 1: Choose a picture that you want to make it a folder icon. It looks cooler if the image is in png. You can also download the png images from Google as per your tastes..


The ICO file format is a image file format in windows operating system.ICO files contain one or more tiny pictures at multiple sizes and color depths, specified they will be scaled suitably.In Windows, all executables that show an associate icon to the user, on the desktop, within the begin Menu, or in Windows person, should carry the icon in ICO format
