I recently read here, about making one's own System Folders, it says the following

"Navigate to /System » Library » CoreServices, and view the contents of the CoreTypes.bundle bundle (Control-click and select Show Package Contents). I recommend copying the Generic Folder icon file to your desktop for easy management, but if you look at the other .icns files in there, there's a whole host of goodies! "

I'm at a loss to satisfactorily understand what I'm supposed to do.

Is there another way of expressing that paragraph pleases ?


Might there perhaps be a quick tip video of this procedure ?
