File Manangement with Pretty Icons

I started to change the default icon of all my folders on my computer’s hard drive. I want to be able to quickly find a folder. It takes longer to scan through words than it does to scan through images.

So, I found an awesome website with free icon downloads for your computer. They’re not freeware, shareware or demo. They’re for use on one, personal computer (so don’t print these icons, don’t email them, and for god-sakes… don’t use them on your website!)

My favorite is Chocolate Folders by Saho. I was really surprised by the quality of all the icons on this website (Macs and PCs). They’re quite sophisticated. Shoot! I just downloaded some more. I’m addicted. So beware of Interfacelift if you like to customize your computer!

You know, I’m looking for a specific icon. I want a folder with money hanging out of it. Or a dollar sign – something moneyish. I want to change my finances folder to look like a folder about finances. I came across an XP icon for MS Money. But I don’t know how to make my Mac use a .ico file as a Mac icon. I’ll have to research it a little bit.
