Windows XP Pro - changing desktop icons


Recommended Posts

Hi, I often put shortcuts on my deskop and like to easily identify them by

the icon. I used to simply right-mouse-click on the existing icon, go to

properties, change icon and select from a range. Now I can see these any

more. In any event, there was not that much to choose from. What is the

best way to change an icon, and when I browse for an icon, where should I go?

Many thanks.

You can't drag it to the Taskbar; do you mean you drag it to the Quick

Launch toolbar? If it disappears from there when you reboot, try this

registry tweak:
