    How do I change the icon of my Games folder to a custom image in Windows 11?


    I've created an icon in MS Paint that I'd like to use for that folder, but I don't know what extension Microsoft's default icons are formatted under, just that it's not .png which my custom icon is saved as. So, if anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it!

    :)
