I just checked on it when I read the OP.
Change Icon button defaults to %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll.
It's a lot of work navigating to %homepath%\My Documents\ICONS so it
hardly
seems worth it navigating to moricons.dll.

Change Icon button
[[Click to change the icon that represents the folder in all views
except
Thumbnails.]]
You can also Browse to C:\WINDOWS\system32\moricons.dll from the Change
Icon
button.
[[You cannot customize the default icon for a folder in Windows;
however,
you can make a shortcut to a folder and change the look of the shortcut
icon. ]]

In ileneupstate <[email protected]> hunted and
pecked:
How can I get "moricons" to open? I have the .dll file, but I get a
message that there is no application attached and I have to create a
file or folder? I also want to know how to download new icons and
where to put them so I can use them to change icons
Wesley Vogel said:Mike,
What I am saying is that the icons in moricons.dll are so ugly that it is
not worth the effort to even browse to them.
I glom onto icons where ever I happen to find 'em.
Example...
Go here, right click and Create Shortcut
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/troubleshoot.aspx?ln=en
Open %homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files, locate the
favicon.ico file, drag it to the Desktop and Rename it to whatever. Mine
is
Microsoft Update.ico.
Like I said, I find 'em where ever. :-D
