How+to+change+the+folder+icon+image+on+an+Apple

This is a simple way to change the image that each folder has on your desktop and/or subsequent folders. This can be useful if you need to quickly find a folder, your desktop is cluttered with many many folders, and you need some way to make certain folders stand out.

1) Before you start I would recommend having your image that you want the new folder icon image to be ready to go. All you need to do is find the image you want and copy that image. Remember to look at the size of the picture, if its too big it will come out blurry and distorted. So find something small and easy with not too much detail. 2) First right click on the folder and the toolbar menu will appear. Click on the one that says "Get Info"



3) Once you click on this it will take you to another menu. Click on the picture of the plain folder itself in the top left corner. When you click on it, it will become highlighted.



4) Once you highlight the folder image, do your paste command (for a Mac hold the command key and “v”). The new image should appear in place of the old plain folder image. You have now successfully changed the image of your folder.



5) Once you go back to your desktop, the old folder picture will be replaced by the new one that you have chosen.
