    How to change default zip icon?


    Hello everyone

    Can you please tell me how to change the default icon for .zip files manually?

    I already changed some of the mp3, mp4, iso but for some unknown reason it doesn't work on .zip

    Any ideas will be welcome

    I always use 7-Zip as my zipper and unzipper. When I installed 7-Zip and associated all zip files with it in its toolbar, they all took on the 7-Zip icon.

    There is a tutorial on this site on changing file-type icons. Have you been using this?
