Icon Changing Madness
I got a couple of icons that I wanted to use to replace the hard drive and usb drive icons on my Desktop for my Macintosh HD and external HDD, but I'm hitting a wall. I have both the icons in ICNS, ICO and PNG formats, and I've been using the method where you open the Get Info windows, click the little icon at the top left and copy/paste, but when I paste, it just shows the Preview document icon with the filetype on it. I've rebooted after changing the icons with all file types, and nothing's changed. In fact, the little icon in the top left of the Get Info windows is the Preview/filetype icon as well. Any thoughts?
