ok let me try to explain bit more in detail...

well i have this 1 main folder for al my work. it has all kind of stuff
init..like film's programms, documents some of them r importan, anyway i
thought i should change its icon to make it look bit more alive. well i right
clicked it and went into its properties. . on top of its properties it had
three options (i) general.. (ii) Sharing.. (iii) Customize.. . i clicked on
Customize and rite at the bottom of that window it had a button saying --
Change Icon -- i clicked on it and it opened a new window with lots of icon.
now the ni selected 1 which looked like a no entry sign and clicked ok. and
applyed the changes and pressed ok again in the previous window....

well now the folder looks like a recycle bin instead of the icon i chose
which looked like a no entry sign... i was bit confused but thought that it
can be chaged back so i went in to the folder's ( which looks like a recycle
bin now) properties.. and i find that it does not have the Customize option.
so now i cant change it back and i dont no of any other way,
I'm not a computer wizzz so i would really be thankfull for some 1's help.
