hi, i use a lot of folders on my desktop and have been wondering if its possible to change the image of the folder. so the archery folder instead of the bland beige thing would be a picture of a bow etc.

is there a way to do this?

Yes, OpenOffice has done this on my start menu, so it's possible - question is how to do it nicely...

Edit: Right-click->properties. Go to Customise tab. Choose "Change Icon".
I knew that all along...
