Windows Basics - Changing shortcut icons

In this video I show you how to change the shortcut icons on a Windows desktop, this should work from Windows XP and above.

If you want to change the icon back to it's original icon, just delete the icon and then put it back on the desktop.

@yournameiswrong Exactly, I admit to doing stuff like that but I don't any more. I stick with open source/freeware now.
