Hi
I have a Web shortcut icon on my desktop. Of course it shows a mug. I would like to change that to another .jpg or .ico.
Somewhere I found out that I could change the script :
<icon href="images/logo_tiny.jpg"/>
<icon kind="splash" href="images/logo_splash.jpg"/>
but that's probably not as easy as it looks, and i'm not a programmer.
Or maybe there's another way ?
Thanks for help !
Right Click the Shortcut Icon and choose Properties, Then Web Document, then Change Icon.
Thank you Sam.Quote:

As far as I know,(which is only as far as Windows 2003,) the only way to change a File's Icon is to change the Icon for all files with that extension.
Alternatively, create a shortcut to the file and Change the shortcut's Icon.
A clumsy workaround would be to rename that file with a custom Extension, (".myjnlp".) Then change the Icon for all (one) files with that custom extension, then assign the correct (original) application to open and run all files (one) with that Extension.
