Vista "My Computer" Desktop Icon - Notebook Anyone?

[boltjames]

This is the Windows Vista desktop icon for "My Computer":



I want to change that icon on my desktop from a PC tower to a notebook computer, but nothing in Vista's icon cache resembles a notebook.

Anyone have some icons they can post? I've searched around and am finding nothing.

TIA

You've got a perfectly good looking SZ laptop icon as your avatar - photoshop that and save it as .gif? then you've got your own icon :P

so essentially you could take you own pics resize and convert them then use them as icons.

True, but I want my icons to match and so I'm looking for a stylized one like the default tower image. That blue screen, the shadowing, etc.

I have laptop icon in some dll... Right click on desktop - customize - change desktop icons (up on the left) - (choose my computer) - change icon - there you'll find it (I hope)

Find the laptop icon for me and I will grant you one wish. I cannot locate it in any .dll.
