	Well.. I've been using Windows for a while now, and have accumulated
many things for it.. but, that still urks me.. I arrange MY own folders in
order, then when I exit that window, it seems to have a mind of it's own.. I
don't know what to do about that....

	As for this, select file and then properties.  Go to change icon, and
then select a file.  ICONS are available, I believe, at cica.cica.indiana.edu. 
They're a dime a dozen.  If you want, I can send you my icons uuencoded. 
Also, there's a file called icondrw.zip that you can get, once unzipped, It
will allow you to draw your own icons.  Enjoy!
