Custom icons for GIF / DOC / etc... Or just for 6.0?

[echdarees]

Hi there,

Is there some way to override the Windows icons [given to eg : JPG / XLS / TGA / etc...] with a custom icon library?
Or does our beloved Mr Ghisler will bring it with 6.0?
thanks a lot for any feedback,

AFAIK you can do it in Windows now.

Control Panel / Folder Options / File Types / Advanced / Change icon
It's the path in WinXP, but as I rememeber it's also possible in older versions of Windows.

(the original English names in the above path can be a little different - I use Polish Windows so I've translated the Polish names into English).

...or you could do this in Total Commander: Files/Associate With/Edit Type/Change Icon (cm_Associate).

I don't know what to say....
I am so ashamed....

echdarees don't read my previous post. Forget it...

How could I forget that it's also possible with TC. I think I will have sleepless night...

Lefteous : perfect! Exactly what I wanted to hear Thanks a lot!!!
djk : don't worry m8, I appreciate your help and remember : everyone forgets a thing here and there [in my case : the icons changing]

thanks again and with kind regards,

Well, it strange, 'cause from your first post I supposed you want to use separate set of icons for mentioned above file types with TC. And via cm_Associate you'll change them globally, actually.[/face]

Black Dog : you are right... But I think it wasn't possible and so, the method in using ONLY TC was also ok. I'm quite easy actually
