Changing A Mac OS X Folder Icon 6
Finder
Hey
You may want to after a while change a folder icon. This is a pretty simple process to do but its hard to get the hang off. But Apple Mac Tips will be your to savior. To begin, find an icon you like. A Good place is interface lift.
Once you have found your icon right click and “Get Info” on both you icon file and the folder you wish to change.
You will notice in the top left hand corner is a small icon, this will be the key to the process.
What you need to do is click on the icon. There will be a blue outline around the icon.
Now press Command + C, this will copy the icon to your clip board.
On your folder icon that you want to change, click it again and press Command + V. This will paste the icon.
This may take a couple of times to work, but you will get the hang of it. Have fun.

Thanks so much for making this painless, quick and easy. I spent a whole afternoon sorting thru untold amounts of junk, redirects and complicated tools only to come across yours—The Best—this morning.
This is especially helpful on our home computer that’s shared by three kids ages 10, 9 and 6 — none of whom ever remembers to put their materials in the right place as a means of avoiding a cluttered desktop.
You rock!
