Hi, does any one know!

Is there any way of changing the, green X, excel shortcut icon to
personal icon created by myself to make it my own and when doubl
clicking on it it will go straight into my, or specific excel program

You can specify the app associated with each file extension; right click the
file, GeneralChange.., then select the app.
This is a global setting so all (e.g. .xls) files will be opened with that
app.
Depending what you want to achieve, it may not make sense to open a file in
an app that does not understand the Excel file format.

Hi,

If i right click on the file i don't get the General change
option....also a bit lost with the "app" setting?. I would like to
change the green excel icon to my own custom icon that launches my
custom excel program.

Yes, from there you select you "custom excel program" and the icon will be
the icon associated this app.
I assume by "custom excel program" you really mean a standalone .exe that
you have created and compiled. Or do you mean an XL worksheet with some
coded VBA ?
