Icons to change .exe?

I use windows xp. Icons of all the files of executables (.exe) on my computer have been modified in the same icons in research. Please note that these aren't shortcuts. I am not able to change individual icons icons for as an executable .exe files do not allow their icons to change their properties. I've tried a system restore and even rebuild the icon cache, but no solution is found. I tried to change the file association in the folder options icon, but I can't change it to .exe files. I tried to reinstall programs, but it does not work. So please help!

Hello

I suggest to perform the system restore and check.

  • Drag and drop files to the icon of the EXE

    I was wondering if there is a way for the user to drag and drop files on the .exe icon and it would launch the program to do something with these files automatically?

    For example: Some PDF convertor programs allow you to drag and drop documents, images, etc. directly on your desktop PDF Converter icon and it will automatically convert to PDF format, without the user even having to open the program.

    This same kind of functionality is possible with a file EXE of Labview?

    If you look at the Arguments of the command line of the Application class property, the first element must match the name of the EXE, the following elements will be the path or paths that were dropped on the icon of the EXE.

  • My desktop icon to change their appearance?

    Greetings Windows wizards and warriors.

    A few months my desktop icons have changed their look by themselves? Little normal images are changed to little land and pages with the right corner leaning forward. When it started only affected the shortcuts of the site but since suddenly from affecting the icons of the programs as well. I tried to go into the properties for individual icons and changing images back to normal, but their real images are not available on the selection screen, their not located anywhere at all. Funny enough without notice the icon pictures return just as they disappeared. If any of you very inteligent people have an answer to why and how this happens, and especially how to prevent this behavior, please contact me, ' help me Obiwan, you're my only hope! "

    It consist of the following fields

    Employee number *)
    Name *)
    *) Blood group
    Pattern Type *)
    *) status - LOV (consisting of New and approved)...

    Once the employee (sender) applies to a REQUEST of ACCESS CARD, it will fill in all the details and for the State it will give there * 'NEW' * and it will apply for the request... This application will be stored in the report with the icon change, if he wants means, he can change his request by clicking on the icon of change request, and then he can submit it again...

    Shortly after, the receiver will receive the REQUEST of the sender...

    What the receiver will do the means, once the request is granted, it will be to amend the application by clicking on the icon for amendment of the application which is in the report and change the status of * 'NEW' to 'APPROVED' * and send it to the sender...

    After that, the sender will see demand which is related, in which the 'NEW' status was changed to the "APPROVED"... Soon after change of the request to the APPROVED State, you should not change this request...

    How can I hide the icon of change of demand that is related, shortly after state transitions to the State APPROVED...

    Because the sender should not change the query that was APPROVED in order to return the APPROVED request...

    How can I hide the icon change my request shortly after the status of the report on the State APPROVED...

    Your help is very appreciated...

    Thanks for your point of view...

    0 and 1 are just examples. If you have set up things like A = APPROVED and N = NEW you would have your status code look! = « A »... You need to just check for everything that is the return value.

  • Association__Unable of loading Windows files: for example; "vlc. INK." invalid file.__All because my desktop icons have changes and all end. Insread of INK. EXE?

    I do nothing, can solve the problem, I tried to restart at an earlier date to work on the pc, but I had fixed some time back, there is no date of previous work before this? Can someone plese help, I'm at my wits end... Thanks in advance

    Hey all, I met several times before - bit of a design on a flaw in Microsoft if you ask me.  If that's what I think is, you set all files with the extension ".lnk" to start with vlc.exe (or another program).  In short, here's what you need to do, but be careful in the registry.

    Do exactly what the instructions, exactly how they say to do it, and if something seems wrong, get the help of a technician or someone more experienced.  Make a mistake in the registry can make your system unbootable more or less well.

    1. Click on theStart Menu, typeregedit in start search and pressENTER .
    2. Navigate to the following registry branch:

    NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

    Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts .

    1. Delete the subkey namedUserChoice .
    2. Exit the registry editor.

    As much as I would like to take credit for the difficulty, I can't - search this Web site for the theme "icons of Application and extension changed. LNK ".  'MyronH' is the host that the application of origin.

    To the extent where the fix proposed by spankydoggy...  Although the intention seems authentic, notice are a bit dodgy.  Considering of Manhood and the stealth technology in about 800 000 permutationsknown to modern virii / Trojans / malware, the only safe course of action is to back up your data and rebuild your system.  And that says nothing about the relevance of the instructions spankydoggy offers in relation toyour system (operating system, applications, recorded files, etc..).  Follow the advice of spankydoggy if you want, but 10 years experience suspect at best it's going to do nothing and lead you into a dead end and the worst cases - it could make your system unbootable or losing data.

    Best regards and good luck,
