How to change unrecognised file icon?

Question

Hey, I want to change an unrecognised file icon into a picture of my choice, thanks! :)

PS, I know how to change shortcut icons, but I would like to know how to change other icons.

Answer 1

In Windows right click on what ever file you want to change and select "properties". On the "Customize" tab select the "change icon" button.  If its a shortcut the change icon button is on the "shortcut" tab.

What OS are you using?

For file type icons you can't change them individualy.  You have to change them as a group from the control panel.

This site explains in detail how to change everything that you can in XP and it works for Vista as well.

I'll check this thread tommorrow.  If it worked let me know.

Good Luck
