I know how to change the icons for all the other folders/apps etc. but I can't seem to figure out how to change the Finder icon. If I right-click from the dock it won't let me "Get Info"...

any ideas?

Thanks.

You need Candybar to do that. Otherwwise its a pain.

I would rather go through the pain than getting a hold of a credit card and paying $10.00

I've been trying to change it for the past few weeks, and I've come to believe its hard coded into the system. I've changed every icon related to the finder icon, and it shows in message windows with the changed icon, but the dock icon is still unchanged.

Get a program called LiteIcon. Search for it on Google. It does the exact same thing as CandyBar, except its free.
