This web page demonstrates how to change an icon on a Windows XP/Vista Desktop.

It is assumed that the user:
1. Already has a Desktop shortcut to the Cosmopolitan Club Website.
2. That the Cosmopolitan Club Icon (Cosmo Icon.ico) is in the "My Documents" folder.

 

      The Cosmopolitan Club shortcut on the Desktop may look like this.

      Right click on the icon to open the following drop down menu,



  

 

 

    Click on "Properties"

 



     Make sure the "Web Document" tab is selected

     Click on the "Change Icon" button

 

 

 

 

 

 




    A list of icons may appear.  If the Cosmo Icon.ico isn't shown, it will be necessary to browse to the folder where it is located.  In this example it will be assumed that the icon is in the "My Documents" folder.

    Click on the "Browse" button

 

 

 

 

 

 



The "system 32" folder may appear.  This is not the desired folder.

Click on the "Up One Level" icon (green up arrow).

Repeat clicking until the "My Documents" folder appears.

 

 

 

 



Click on "My Documents"

Next click the "Open" button (bottom right)

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

Locate and click on "Cosmo Icon.ico"

Then click "Open"

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

The "Change Icon" dialog box should appear with the selected icon

Click the "OK" button

 

 

 

 

 

 



Click the "OK" button

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

    The icon should now be changed
