Is there a way to change the default icon associated with a program on WM6?
so do i have to move the exe file into desktop, change icon, and move back?
You don't have to change the icons in the programs you can insted make a dll with icons and add to the links of the program.
so the link if opened with notepad would look something like this 98#"\Windows\cool_app_look.exe"?icon.dll,-46
you can also edit the icons in .exe with reshack

I'm trying to figure out how to assign icons back to file types from the default program used.
As you can see in the first image, the icons are blank for my .jpg files. Currently, SPB Imageer is the app that opens it by default. For some reason, I dont know how, but the icons change to the blank ones.
In the second image, the address bar shows the key in the registry to change the default icon image for jpg files.
The third image shows the string. What number do I put to use the Imageer icon for jpg files or any other app that you may want. That number you see was put by me and it does not work.
Other apps use different numbers for there own icons for the file types that they are associated with. Some examples are: Opera uses -131, TCPMP uses -1000, WMplayer uses -2002, Word uses -13072, PowerPoint uses -200
How do I find out the number??
Try the Pike Icon editor. I forgot where I got it, and couldn't figure it out after I had it installed. Maybe if you try this and are able to do something with it,you can help me. I know it's a cab file unzipped from a zip file.Cingular 8125ROM 2.25.11.1

You can use Total Commander to copy any .lnk file to a temporary folder, edit the name of the link to "anythingyoulike.lnk"
After that, you can use a file editor (Total commander has one) to edit the content of the .lnk to show 21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,10 and save.
Move the link to the place you want it to show: tray, drop down menu or using a software to show application on Today screen.
All the best.
1. copy the string between the dotted lines (not including the lines) to your notepad
2. save it as Remove Programs.lnk
3. move the link to your ppc-- windows\Start Menu\Program Files
--------------------------------
ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,10?shellres.dll,-13943
--------------------------------
Note:
1. by doing this, you'll have a shortcut with the native icon for Remove Programs
2. try "shortcut creator" if you prefer some other icons
Thanks Guys.
Thank you wovens and iiiox, it was a combination of you both that helped me. 21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,10?shellres.dll,-13943 is the string that worked for me. I'm happy now, although I got a basic icon and not the custom one I thought I was gonna have. Check out the pics of the 2 icons below. I must have the 'remove programs' icon next to 'file manager'. It's like addition and subtraction. I never could find the original ink file using Activesync. I just ended up editing another ink with total commander. Is there anyway to change the icon?
The part ?shellres.dll,-13943 tells it the icon to use. Most likely the one you show is actually a png image that is used by the new start menu system for icons.
You can use other programs icons as in ?\windows\myprogram.exe,23 would use the icon numbered 23 in you program called myprogram.exe
I have heard of people creating their own dll files to contain icons they want.

I'm using Energy rom so I figured it was part of it's customization. I'm not sure I understand the example you have given, but I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the wanted icon. Also, I'm clueless about creating dll. Thanks anyway RoryB. Maybe if I stare at it long enough, it will start to make sense to me.
didn't work for me plz help
Does anyone know if this is possible? I'm trying to change the icon of a shortcut I created to Resco Photo Viewer and then tried to change the Icon with a PNG to no avail. Is this even possible?
SK ShortcutCreator, somewhere in development thread is another one Shortcutmaker. U'll have to convert it to dll or icl but there a loads of apps to manipulate with icons....(for PC)
hello guys .. am new
and I would like to greet everyone!
I write to ask if you can change the icon system (the ones in the programs, settings tab, etc.). with which programs?
Thanks to all and I hope you respond
hello
a good program is manilla customiser v0.8 which allows you to change separate elements of the TF3D interface (clocks, icons, curtains, sliders + a few other things). This program can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437420
I don't use the TF3D but I would still want to customize the folders icon (start menu/programs).
As it is now the only icons I have are the [games] and [office mobile] icons (icon.ink file). Ive tried to import the icon.ink file from my Glofiish X500+ but when I transfer them they don't work anymore...
Any suggestions?
Hi
i am useing SK Shortcut Manager to do this.
http://www.s-k-tools.com/sksmgr/sksmgr.html
and the .lnk file doesn' t work if it is transferd to another device for a simple reason.the icon itself is stored in .dll file or in .exe file.you would have to transfer those files to.if you are interested PM me and i will upload my .dll files with icons.
sorry for my bad english
