There are some icons in Mac OS X that are a little tougher than others to change, but most of the desktop icons, especially those for user documents and directories, are easy to change.



Mac OS X provides a context menu for each desktop icon displayed by the Finder application that includes a menu item called ';Get Info.'; It is usually the second item on the menu. Get info displays a rather comprehensive list of configurable information about a document or a folder, and also displays the document or directory's icon at the top.



This is where you can change an icon, believe it or not. By selecting the icon in the ';Get Info'; window, with a mouse left-click, it will cause a blue border to appear. Using the keyboard combination of [Apple Key ] + C (the standard copy text command) you can ';copy'; the icon. Then, by opening another Get Info window and highlighting the icon in the same way, you can use the standard paste text command, [Apple Key ] + V, to paste the icon for the other document.
