If you have a bunch of shortcuts on your desktop, rightclick on each and choose
properties. Then on the Shortcut tab, choose "change icon" Toutoune wrote: I would like to change the appearance of icons on my desktop. I know how to change them but would like to use other icons/clip art/ pics. Is is feasable and how do we do it? Thanks! -- Dave Peterson |

I've tried that and I can change the icon. My question was how can I put a different clip art or picture instead of those plain icons. There are many to choose from but they're not exciting. It would be nice to be able to have other little icons like for example : a clipart of a red folder or other colors, not just plain yellow... Toutoune |

This used to work in the olden days, but I don't know if the current versions of
windows supports it: You could create your own .ico (icon) files and use them. There are lots of free iconeditors available (search google to find some). But IIRC, they were severely limited in size (small number of pixels by small number of pixels). If you don't get a better response and can't find what you want, you may want to take this down the hall to one of the windows newsgroups. (You may not get the best answer in .excel.misc.)
