Is the stuff you downloaded in a file ending in .ico?

Whatever the file type....just know in what directory you downloaded it to.

To use the icons...you must use it for an existing icon...or for some sort of short-cut that you have created on your desktop.

To use it in place of an existing icon, right-click on any icon, then Properties/Change Icon button, then point it to the directory of your downloaded stuff. The icon choices should show up there.

Well...just plop all the stuff you downloaded (be it 4 items or 50 items) into one directory (make one...call it xtraicons or something). That can be done with 1 drag and drop. If all the stuff you downloaded is already in 1 directory, just do what is in the second part of the above post...pointing to that directory after right-clicking an existing icon.

But....I am assuming that you have downloaded some graphic icons...(like different looking trash icon, etc) that you would like to use in place of the standard choices that come with Windows.

If this is the case...the above should work. It just takes a second.
