How can I change an icon for the device in Windows 7?

In 'Control Panel\Devices and printers' I want to change the icon of a device that there are listed.

Hi Dave Tavres

I'm afraid to say that you would not be able to change this icon.
This icon is provided by the hardware manufacturer, and is included in the drivers and architecture has no Windows allows to change this information.
However, you can use the third party applications to change. Use your favorite search engine to find on the Internet.

    How can I change an icon in my taskbar in Vista

    Thank you. I placed the folder on my desktop and then changed the icon. Then I moved the icon (which did NOT show the new icon - just a file photo), to the quick launch. I think I just clicked and clicked on properties and then the icon HE chose displayed, I clicked on it Ant then display many icons displayed and then I found the icon who had chosen before was in the displayed list. Then clicked on it and then apply and it worked. Without doing this way many icons display never came and I didn't and still don't know why. But with your recommendations, I was somehow able to change the icon. Thank you for your help.

  • How can I change an icon for example VLC on a miniature of the film

    Caused by a virus, I had to format my laptop, Media Inc to Dell Inspiron 17200 Windows Vista SP1 Home premium. All movies that are stored on a hard disk of ext WD and already showing a thumbnail image of the film have been replaced by a VLC icon. Also the new downloaded movies display the icon and not a miniature image of the film. How can we get the thumbnails.
    Thank you very much

    Thank you very much lava. called today just ELL to confirm that reformatting (see first post) had gone ok and no problem. It's when I told him of the loss of thumbnails. He said it was because the windows media player had not read VLC codex. We downloaded a pack of softonic codex and now all the thumbnails are back. Thanks a lot for your help and advise that it means many things to those who like me Don t know too have a place to turn to. Keep up the good work. Thank you very much, Al

  • How can I change an icon on the toolbar

    I must confess not that I've been a user of default Firefox for some time. Have recently changed to a 64-bit (Windows 8) op system and the only 64-bit browser, I don't see in the Nightly version.

    The regret I have find the icons in the toolbar very bland and want to change some of them to my custom icons, but can not find how to do this. Custom toolbars can be created or modified, but can not change icon.

    Pointers, tips, tips or advice would be welcome. Also have tried looking for browser.css, but can not find.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello, normal firefox versions run fine on versions 64 bits of windows - so just for this reason that you wouldn't have to spend for an alpha version of the browser...

  • How can I change my icons for vista file extensions?

    Recently for some reason any I just noticed that my icons for file extensions under the symbol icon mp3 music just normal to an icon with a video symbol and a note of music in the same icon. It really bothers me because I'm starting to confuse some of my files, because I think the videos are songs and vice versa. Can someone help me change that?

    Try to rebuild your icon cache: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117229-icon-cache-rebuild.html.  I do not know what will solve the problem in this case because you didn't really explain how the icons changed in the first place, but he frequently works with similar problems.

    If this does not work, try the following:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files (possibly including the icons - once again depending on how they have been changed).  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files usinghttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

    I hope this helps.  Otherwise, after return and tell me what happened and we'll see what we can try.

    Good luck!

  • How can I change a password for the local account of a pc that can not be connected remotely?

    Hi all

    I am currently based in London. I have a problem with the laptop of a staff based in Africa. We built the laptop and it shipped to them. As part of the construction, we put on our account standard administrator and then made a local account that they are not connected to our area.

    The user in this Africa Office has changed the local password of its account and now don't remember making it so the unable to connect to PC. I don't want to tell him our administrator password, because it is the same for all our PC in the world. I have studied a lot of things to try to connect to the computer, but it is now possible.

    I tried:

    1 navigation to the machine from another pc on the network using explroer and I see the C drive.

    2. I tried to run this command, but I get just error 1219: net use \\pcname\ipc$ / user: pcname\administrator *.

    3 RDP will not work, it will not just connect.

    4. the PC that I use is 8 Windows Home Edition and none of the business I've noticed is a problem of computer management doesn't have users and groups it seems. The remote pc is Windows 7 Enterprise.

    So for now I just a laptop that is stuck on the login screen.

    I guess I'm doomed then?

    No, you are not condemned. I gave you a recipe to solve your problem. Give the person a password for admin for a few minutes does not compromise the integrity of the machine, as long as you then reset the password in a few minutes.

    If this person can burn a CD repair system on another machine of Windows 7 then it can use to start the machine in Windows Repair Mode. From there it can use system restore to set up Windows to a point before he changed the password. You need to exercise on your own machine to guide him through the process.

    Why do you want to put the URL in the Dock, which doesn't seem like the appropriate place for this.

  • How can I change my password for connection of Firefox? (Not the master password for the Firefox links saves itself)

    (1) how can I change my password for connection of Firefox? (Not my main password for things Firefox stores)
    (2) how can I change my password for connection of Thunderbird? (Not my master
    password for things Thunderbird stores)
    Just answer (Email removed by mod)

    You don't have to log in to Firefox. Firefox is just a browser, such as Internet Explorer. Everything you have to do is double-click it and open it. It's like Internet Explorer. If you have some sort of password extension protecting your Firefox, it's different and you need to contact the developer of the extension.

    Another method is to do a system restore.

    If you remember a time when you did NOT have this problem, and if this date is not too long, use this date or before as your restore point.

  • How can I change a surround for a stereo typical project project?

    How can I change a surround for a stereo typical project project in logic pro x?

    Logic has a strange way to switch between a stereo project and a Project Surround, because there is no surround sound simple on/off switch.

    Here's how it works:

    If the output of at least a Channel Strip is set to Surround sound, the project will then move to surround (with lots of changes, you need to be aware of). Restored the outputs stereo will pass the stereo project.

    Hope that helps
