You can actually change the DEFAULT FOLDER ICON Wich changes all the folder icons, as soon as you restart by adding a edit in the registry. (Enter win+r regedit and the search the internet for where exactly you find the default icons)

I'm pretty sure this feature was in Windows since win95 or something. Definitely not a Windows 10 feature.

I followed this but as soon as I use the folder with the new icon, it reverts back to the old icon. Edit: I figured it out I think. As soon as the icon to be used (that you've just downloaded) is moved from its original location, it won't be set as the new folder icon on your desktop. It has to be kept in the same location as when you first set the new icon. This ensures the new icon remains on the desktop. As soon as you move the icon to a new place, that icon will revert to default. Simply move the downloaded icon you want to a permanent place, then repeat the steps to change the icon to the new icon in the menus for the desktop. It should stay.

Am I the only one who can’t find a single .ico download at all

Just ran into a problem where this simply doesn't work. Win10 doesn't say why, everything behaves normally, but when you press ok or apply it doesn't get applied and when you bring up properties again, it's on the default icon. And apparently this is frequent too... wtf.

This works but when I put away the image that I used as an Icon into a folder all the icons disappear

you dont need a .ico image, you can choose every image you want and then convert it to a .ico image in a website

I know how to change folder icons individually. How would you do all related folder types at the same time rather than one by one? Something I've been trying to figure out for a while now. Would really be nice to create a new folder and have it automatically apply the folder icon I have set to that particular folder type.

So, I just recently made the jump from Windows 7 to 10 after spending about 3 or 4 years on a Mac. My Windows 7 I had customized to the hilt with Icons and other random customization's. When I made the jump back to PC, I found that a LOT of things have changed, yet stayed the same. When I started looking for ways to change the icon, I quickly discovered that it was a bit more complex than I remembered but I managed to find out how to find the place to change the icons. Not wanting to mess up my computer, I decided to do some digging and found a BUNCH of videos and forums detailing how to change the icons using 3rd party software/apps. Not what I wanted. Not really into things that lace themselves deeply into my hardware. Then I found this video that basically confirmed what I already kind of knew AND you showed me a much easier way to access said files! (Windows 10 changed a step or two) In short, thank you for helping confirm what I already knew. And to those looking to change their icons, this is pretty much the only way I would go unless you can %100 trust the app you're using. You've got two thumbs up from me bro! Also, one of the funniest tutorials I've ever seen! And trust me, I've logged probably hundreds of hours on "How to's". If you could do a tutorial on how to change the Recycle Bin icon... that would be awesome!
