Using .icos in Windows:

.ico files are images that Windows users can swap out to represent shortcuts on their desktops. To use the HT .icos, first go to the .icos page and download the .zip file containing the .ico files.

Once you have unzipped the folder on your computer, create a shortcut on your desktop that you would like to use a HT .ico for – it could be a direct link to HT, a link to a folder on your computer where you keep your screencaps or any other site, folder or program you wish. Right click on the shortcut and select "Properties." Select "Change Icon" and locate the .icos on your computer. Pick the one you want to use and follow the instructions.
