%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe shell:MyComputerFolder

·        Type any name under “Type a name for this shortcut” and click “Finish”.

·        Right-click new “Computer” shortcut on the desktop and click “Properties”.

·        Under the “Shortcut” tab, click the “Change Icon” button.

%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll

 ·        Select the “Computer” icon (Any icons of your choice) from the available images and click “OK”.
