I have my trash can set as a virtual cache :(

How rude! :lol:

 

I've got my virus scanner set as a travel bug.

 

If you feel guilty about stealing them, I'd be happy to sell them to you for $20.

 

Criminal, everyone knows you overcharge. You can get them from me at cost for $15. No markup I swear.

I'm surprised somebody hasn't come up with a geocaching theme complete with wallpaper, pointers, icons, and sounds. Although I wonder what sound you would use :lol:

Probably the sacred FTF song...

You mean like these 3.gif  Just right click on them and steal them.

I wish I thought of that!

i made one using the signal wallpaper from the site. i have different kinds of bugs for all the cursors, a backpack for the my computer icon, a (forbidden), jackknife as another icon, and a globe for the recycle bin. the sounds are different bird noises. i changed the appearance to match the wallpaper. pretty much everything is scavanged from somewhere on the internet. :lol:

Hmmmm. Sound of a ammo can opening, closing, sliding among rocks. Golf balls in a ammo can. The sounds of footsteps in the mud. Tupperware. Rain, wind in the trees.

 

What's more fun is to think up the sounds associated with errors. The sound of a cacher putting their hand in something yucky. (slush - *ick*). Falling down a hillside, or worst of all, an avalanche with a scream. :( Brings new meaning to the word "crash".

A crazy question but here goes. How do you change your icons from the little yellow folder to lets say a cache box unopened? I've got the pic downloaded and ready to go but don't have a clue as to how to change it? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dwayne

In win XP:

Right click on the folder, and select "Properties"

click the "Customize" tab

click "Change Icon" button

Click the "Browse" button to navigate to the ico file you want to use

click OK.

in win 98 sometimes you can't change the icon (this way) for a folder on the desk top, but you can for a shortcut to a folder somewhere else.

 

You can use a bitmap (.bmp) as an icon, just change the file type to .ico, I use 40 x 40 pixels.

Thanks Martmann for your help. I run Windows ME. Thanks anyway! :lol:

It's pretty much the same idea. You should be able to fig it out from his instructions, if ya give it a try.
