Get an Icon editor and Paintshop Pro and make your own.

its easy, find a pic re size it, change it to a BMP and import it into an icon editor clean it upi make sure it looks ok and save it.

As for chaning some of the system icons, in Win98se and above you can change them from the desktop via

Right click on desk top > properties > Effects Tab > then select the icon you want to change

I swaped the icons and renamed the ones for recycle bin and my computer, just to confuse anyone who tries to use my comp
