The easiest thing to do is go through your folders, right click the folder, go to Send To, then select Desktop (Creat Shortcut) Rick.

Is that what you're looking to do?

IconX should convert any and all icons on the default desktop to IconX icons.

You don't add more icons to IconX.  You add icons to yoru desktop and they are IconX-ified. 

I started IconX and load a theme  . . and all my desktop icons are IconX'd
Open up Windows Explorer and drag a few shortcuts to the desktop . . they get IconX'd.

The last tab of the config adjusts what default icons are displayed.

You are using XP, right?

If you made an transparent png and put it in the background folder it'd disappear.

This is the grail on making an entire Icon Package using Icon Packager. It's called Icon-A-Day by Mormegil. It's found here. WWW Link Here is a short tutorial on how to use Icon Developer to make an individual icon it's from Draginol. WWW Link Or, you can try Island Dog's screencast on the topic found here. WWW Link

All these can be found on the WinCustomize Wiki. Main page is here. WWW Link

That should get you going.
