Guest Rod Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I'd like to change my file type Icon I have been to Folder settings / file types but cannot find it. Any Ideas? The file type is *.LZH any ideas on how to change the default icon? Thanks.
Guest Alan Edwards Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Re: "File type" has gone AWOL. Have you ever created an association for .LZH? If so, then you will have the option to "change icon" If you have not created one, then please do so, unless you have one already created for you in your zip file type. ( .Zip and .Lzh and others may be under the one file type of Zip Central or similar) ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.htm On Fri, 10 Aug 2007 17:34:04 +0800, in microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion, "Rod" <pookiethai@iprimus.com.au> wrote: >I'd like to change my file type Icon >I have been to Folder settings / file types >but cannot find it. > >Any Ideas? > >The file type is *.LZH > >any ideas on how to change the default icon? > >Thanks. > > >

Theory: do / start / help / index / FILE EXTENSION / associating . . . Practice: 1. Preselect the utility you intend to use e.g. WINZIP 2. Select (highlight) one data file icon and 2b. simultaneously shift and right click. 3. Select menu option "Open with . . . " 4. From box (or via / Browse) select the utility. 4b. Uncheck the box "Always use this program. . . " 5. Click OK to open the selected data file with the selected utility program. Whe this works OK repeat and this time 4b. Check the box. This makes the File Association permanent (until you change it again.) > The *.lzh files are used <only> by a proprietry program No: LZH indicates use of a compression algorithm patented by three chaps (L, Z and H) as mentioned in the startup screen for Adobe PDF viewer and some of the many other utilities that bought licences to use the LZH algorithm. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)
Guest Alan Edwards Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Re: "File type" has gone AWOL. "description of type" can be anything, e.g. "LZH files" "content type" can be left blank. No, you cannot leave the "action" empty but it is normal to use "Open", as you will see with other file types. You can use whatever you like, e.g. Open, Open with whatever application. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.htm On Fri, 10 Aug 2007 19:32:34 +0800, in microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion, "Rod" <pookiethai@iprimus.com.au> wrote: >No, a bit nervous there. >I have no idea on ........ > >"content type" > >can I leave the "action" empty? > >The *.lzh files are used <only> by a proprietry program > >Rod >"Alan Edwards" <edwards@southcom.com.au> wrote in message >news:d5hob31voetp3lsvvukdapm8skhv1vuinr@4ax.com... >> Have you ever created an association for .LZH?

What I meant was, on <my> computer, the *.lzh files are only used by a prop program to melt zipped files.
