In Windows operating systems, My Computer, My Network Places, and Recycle Bin are called System Icons. You can easily change the appearance of the system icons individually...

To change System Icons :

1. Click the Start button, go to Settings, and select "Control Panel".
2. In the Control Panel, select Appearence and Themes and Double-click the "Display" icon.
3. Select Desktop tab and click Customize Desktop.
4. From Desktop icons display, click the one that you would like to change/modify.
5. Click the "Change Icon" button.
6. Click the new icon that you would like use in place of the old one.

Hint: Can't find the icon(s) ? Click the "Browse" button to
locate folders containing icons which have ".ico" format file
extensions.

7. Once you have chosen the icon you want, click OK then, click Apply...

Which Windows operating system verion are you using - XP or Vista?

There are 2 options - Manual and Automatic

In Manual, you have to do a lot of resource hacking.
In Automatic, get IconPackager or Axialis IconWorkshop, both have options to change every icon on your system.
