How to change system icons in Windows?

If you need to change the “This PC” icon, the recycle bin, folder, and some other system locations, you can do so easily with the built-in tools of the system.

To set custom icons for system folders:

  1. Press “Win + I” to open the “Settings” window.
  2. Go to the “Personalization” section → “Themes”.
  3. On the right, select the “Desktop Icon Settings” option.
  4. You can choose either an icon from the system suggestions or your own custom icon.
  5. Tap “Change Icon”.

To change the folder icon, right-click on it and open “Properties”. Go to the “Customize” tab and press “Change Icon”. As in the previous method, specify the desired icon.
