How do you change the font in My Computer? And when you change that font what else changes? I assume CP, explorer .... ?

And the icons

The fonts was changed via "Themes" using StyleBuilder...the Icons are changed via the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\G]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\G\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\Icons\\DVDROM_LITEON.ico"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons\G\DefaultLabel]
@="LiteOn HD-166S"

that might be for some...but like me...i'm talented enough to enter the 'registry' and customize my OS for permanent status...and dont have to 'reformat' all the time due to 'cluster ****s' and added files.
