Is there a way to change all the Folder Icons on my computer in WinXp all at once, I want all my normal folders to be a certain icon...I can't change all the folders one by one using the properties of each one....any ideas?

Maybe this will work....
If you open Folder Options in the control panel and click the file types tab, you will see an entry for "File Folder" near the top of the list. If you select it and click the advanced button, you should have the ability to change the icon. (There is also a "Folder" entry but the ability to change the icon is grayed out... You can enable the option by using a program like Enabler.
WARNING: Messing around with this could lead to the problem desccribed here. So wait for someone smarter to post :-)
