Changing Icons?

Is there a way to change the icons on "My Computer" and "Recycle Bin?" I know you can download programs like IconPackager and stuff, but those cost money, and I would prefer if it were free. :rolleyes:
I'm using the Alienware darkstar theme, and I know that comes with customization stuff, but I can't find icon programs anywhere. Thanks for your help.
 
Well...I have windows XP and what I do is right click on the icon to be changed, scroll down to properties, click on the customize tab, and at the bottom you will see a "Change Icon" button. You may or may not be aware of this, but there are some options there to choose from without a seperate program.

That will do regular icons, but with my computer and recycler bin customize tab isn't there, I have done this before but im not sure how, I do not remember, I'm going to try and figure it out and when i do, I will either post again or edit this one.


EDIT: I figureed it out, I amnow reediting this post to add it.
