| Vista Premium x64 | Changing icons with file association Hey guys, just a quick question. I want to change the icons on certain file types in Explorer. I have it set to the correct program to open the files, but I want to change the icon that is associated with it. I thought it might be doable somewhere under program defaults, but its not - it just lets me change the file associations. Can anyone help? |

| Ultimate x86 | Re: Changing icons with file association You cannot change the icons of certain file types by default in Vista. However you can do it with extra software installed. I use Icon Packager which ads an extra Icon tab to the Properties window of each file type. Unfortunately this program is not freeware but affordable. Visit stardock.com. It's a part of their Object Desktop customization suite. |
