Hi forgive me if this has been gone over - I did a search and I think the subject is too common !

If I copy and paste an icon using command i it changes the folder shape to that of the icon when I want to just have the blue folder with the icon on it.
I don't want it looking like an app..

thanks in adv

you need a 3rd party app for that, icon compo, even a cmm called findericoncm will let you
put an icon onto a folder. theres a;so folder brander, folder icon x and others.

or you could photoshop together a blue folder and the icon you want ... long way round maybe but I can't see why it won't work
