Most Shell Icons can be found by looking in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons
But where can I find information about where the "My computer" icon is?

The standard icon is displayd here:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon

You can try changing the icon here, or follow the steps below.

If you're using anything other than the standard icon dislayed when you right-click on the desktop, choose properties, click the Effects tab and select My Computer, it will create an entry here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Under that key a DefaultIcon key must be created with the path to the icon you prefer.
