    Hey guys,

    I'm new to mac. I've noticed when your in finder, on the right hand side, under places there are default folders such as music, pictures, videos, downloads etc. They all have special icons/artwork such as the music having the blue music icon. When you create a folder, it only has the folder with no artwork. Is there a way to create a new folder and add an artwork/icon? For example if I wanted to make a "music 2" folder to put underneath music which has the blue music Icon, can I do this for my new folder or even a different icon/artwork image all together?

    Sorry if i'm not 100% clear...

    Regards,
    James

    Select the folder you want to get the artwork from, Right click>"Get Info"
    Now in the upper top left corner (Below the X button) click the folder icon there it will glow. Go to edit (at the top of the screen) and click "Copy"
    Now go to the folder you want to change the art work on, and do what's above but click paste.

    You can add pictures too just right click and copy the picture and paste it the same way.

    *Edit* Pictures! just because I'm bored. Here's me changing my icon back to normal, but as you can see you can change it to a picture.
