No mention of these?  Has anyone tried them yet?

I think they look really snazzy, even if I would never actually use them on my PC.

I'm not big on changing icons. I don't usually have others on my machine but I like to keep things lean and findable. So the icons would normally only show up as little tiny shortcuts.

And why is Ray in the hat?

I just installed Homestar Runner icons a couple weeks ago.  So I'll have to give it some time before Beef becomes My Documents.

anyone else notice that there's a desktop.ini and a thumbs.db file in the zip?

thumbs.db adds a useless 11k, and the desktop.ini tells us that whoever made the zip file used the todd's van icon for this directory, which was on his desktop under sandbox\ache_icons\achewood_icons\

just found that interesting . . .

You mean anyone here uses XP?
Woah!

I can't see me using any of them either funnily enough but then I never usually use specialised icons anyway. Too erm, un-utilitarian for me.

basically I think they are okay, I sometimes need a unique icon to mark a shortcut to a directory that I use alot, so I dont have like fifty little folder icons marking the directory I am using to store information about all the projects I am working on.  But when I finish a project or a client runs out of money, I archive the folder and stop using a shortcut (my quicklaunch bar is already wrapped 3 times across my 1600x1440 res screen) and I dont like to reuse icons like that because they dont do any good if I cant remember what they are for. so probably they are gonna be good for a few months, and then one by one filter into disuse.
