Oh, sorry, those steps only apply to Shortcuts, not to actual files. It gets
quite a bit more complicated to change individual file icons (that aren't
shortcuts). That question would be better suited to a Windows forum rather
than Excel.

Thanks, the Folder Option "option" works.

But the individual excel files don't have a "Change Icon" option that I saw.
