Change the icons in Windows 7

I just installed Windows 7 from Windows XP.  I use unique icons for a number of data files.  How to replace the 'application' icon which is the default value for the data files of MS office.  In XP, all I had to do was right click the icon and click on the link "change icon".  It is now missing in Windows 7.

  • How to change the icon of the web in the browser window

    I created my site and cannot find how to change the icon in the browser window (as they have done at the top of this page with the icon of Adobe before the Adobe Forums: text) anyone would be nice to give me a little help?

    Do you mean the favicon?

    I only learned that recently about favicons myself - so if you google the word you will get a lot of resources to do this. Bascially, it's a little icon file located in the root directory of your site that browsers search and display for you. As long as the file is there (* named favicon.ico*) will automatically appear if I'm wrong in what I read.

    It's the thing you're looking for? (edit: it also appears in your list of bookmarks in firefox - if it isn't the one you want it is the favicon file)

  • Change the icons in the Sierra

    Does anyone know how do to change the icons in the Sierra of the old way of cut and paste in the information windows no longer works.

    When I try to copy and paste an icon of a file or folder in the right Info Panel icon. it sticks just a generic icon there.

    But what always works for me, is to open an image in the Preview file and select the part of the image I want to use as icon custom, copy the selection into the clip Panel, then paste it into the icon well of Info Panel to another file or a folder that will change the icon to elements that are not protected by the protection of the integrity of the system.

    But generally, I use iconStix to assign a custom for files and Folders icon.  iconStix has just been updated for Sierra and it is quite easy to combine the icons in the application and assign to files and folders.

    After you have created the icon of iconStix use the command "file > attach Custom Item", then select the item in the file picker.

  • I glide click a URL link in the links toolbar and it shows just the icon of ablank page - why I can't change the icon allocated in the link properties dialog box? Can we change it elsewhere so he's better?

    I dragged a URL in the URL box - in this case a 2nd Yahoo! email login address so I could quickly switch between accounts - in the toolbar links (the one with the "Most visited" link.

    Noting that the new URL link didn't have a Yahoo! icon I right click on the link and found that there is no option to change the URL link icon to, well, anything (!) as we can do for most of the files in Windows Explorer.

    I could change the text label of the link without problem.

    Is he buried somewhere else in Firefox the ability to do so and if so where?

    If not can this option included in the dialog box properties of links in the future, please?

    I would be really grateful one answer I know that my question has not fallen into the "bit bucket".

    See you soon,.

  • Change the icons associated with files - it is still possible; It was child's play.

    How can I change the icon associated with a file? For example, if I change the default program for an .ini file, the default icon of a page with a gear in the corner becomes a simple page and I'd rather the icon does not change... just the program I use to open the file. In the previous veersions of Windows, if you want to change the icon associated with a file, you could simply enter properties and continue. Please advise on how to adopt this change of WinVista Home Premium.

    It is not easy and involves editing the registry (this is far from as easy it was XP, that's why you're having trouble).  Here is the procedure: http://www.webtlk.com/2009/03/20/how-to-change-the-icon-assiciated-with-a-file-in-windows-vista-and-windows-7/.  I recommend before starting that you back up your registry database just to be safe.  Here's how: http://www.adamsdvds.co.uk/tutorials/vista/regedit/backup.php.

  • Change the icons on my computer

    When you click on my computer and open it in a window of the Explorer is shows the icons for the various devices removable and nonremoveable. All the device icons look like disks. In particular, my Ipod. I would like the icon to look like the icon of intellectual property which appeared in Vista.

    1. go to your iPod Player (for example say - f:\, where f is the iPod drive letter).
    2. Select your icon & put it on your iPod as i drive - pod.ico (i.e. - in f:\).
    3. open the Notepad and type as follows:

    n.b.-1. here is the name of the icon file that you use as the icon of the drive disc. "i - pod.ico". You can change the name of the file, but you need to change in the autorun.inf file "ICON = i - pod.ico" section.
    2. This will work only for removable disks on any computer, but not for the internal hard disk, for which there is another yank in the registry.
