Change PC icon on Mac


Leopard and Snow Leopard have a stupid pc icon on the side bar. But there is a way to change it.

Open a Finder Window and go to Macintosh HD>System>Library>CoreServices.
There you have to right-click on CoreTypes.bundle and press «Show Package Content». There is a folder named «Resources» all of the icons are there.

The bluescreen PC icon is the one named public.generic-pc.icns. copy the file to your desktop rename it to public.generic-pc-old.icns and copy again to the same folder, you need to put your password. Them take you own icon and rename it to public.generic-pc.icns and copy to the same folder enter the password and you are done.

To convert a image to icon you can use this free app: http://www.img2icnsapp.com/
