Hetalia Desktop Icons~? :3
Out of pure boredom, I decided to make myself some 48x48 Windows icons featuring chibi Hetalia characters. They're not the most beautifully cropped things in the world, I'll admit
~TEASERS~

Download Here~
Note: I'm using these on Vista, and they should also work fine on XP, but I'm not sure what the limitations for other systems may be.
Just in case anyone needs instructions:
To change a desktop icon, right click on the current icon, then go to "properties." That menu should have a "shortcut" tab, under which there will be a "change icon" button. (If this button is disabled, it means that the program you are trying to change the icon for has been set to preserve its own logo-- this is the case with some Microsoft programs on my computer.) To change the recycle bin icon on Vista, right click your desktop, go to the "personalize" menu, and click on "change desktop icons" under the left hand task window. Select the "recycle bin" icon in the window that appears next and use the "change icon" button. I don't recall the exact recycle bin steps for XP, but they should be fairly similar.
Sorry for being so long-winded. @_@ If you're unfamiliar with anything and still need help feel free to ask, thought it may be clear that written instructions aren't my forté.
Comments and feedback are appreciated~♥

Re: Question
You need specific software to create this file type-- I created these on a this program (http://www.gamani.com/gmgdown.htm), where all you have to do is create the image file with any imaging program (ie, paint, photoshop), open it with the gif creator, and then re-save it from there as an .ico file. The only issue with that link is that it's a pay for program and thus only free for 30 days... though if you google for .ico file creators you may be able to find a program that's free rather than just a 30 day trial-- I think there's even a plug-in that you can get for photoshop to save things as .ico... Erm, is that clear enough? @_@ I feel like I'm awful at explanations...
Thanks, I hope you enjoy them,~ ♥
