Changing .exe File Type Icons In File Explorer But Nowhere Else
Hello Everyone,
I have kind of an odd question, I have been looking into changing file type icons when I came across an interesting conflict.
I would like to be able to change the file type icon for all .exe files to the same file type icon within a file explorer. If you were to try to do this, all icons that are associated with each .exe program becomes the same icon no matter where they are located.
The thing is that usually when I am in a file explorer the .exe files are installers and when I have .exe files in places like on my desktop, in the start menu, and in the taskbar, they are for launching already installed programs.
Can anyone think of a possibly way that could solve this conflict easily with some kind of setting or software.
I thought maybe something with shortcuts but that turned out to not work for me.
I also believe that .ico icon files have multiple sizes within them but I don't think there would be a realistic way to edit each of them for all the programs installed.
Has anyone else ever tried something like this? or have any solutions that I am not aware of?
Thank You
