Warning: FilePool.com

Down8
So I was D/Ling some moviez and one required that I download this stupid 'agent' from FilePool. com. I install the thing, and it looks really cool, something like GetRight, but with different 'features', or whatever.

How to change default folder icon?

Donald2B
I know there was a way to change the default folder icon used in explorer, but I can't seem to change it in Windows 2K. I have used a couple of shareware apps that are supposed to change the icon, but to no avail.
