Change icon on minimized application

[Balmforthk]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the icon used on the taskbar item for an application. As an example, I've included a picture of the Outlook 2013 item.

Thanks,

Hmm, try this (not sure if you will be satisfied):
- I don't know how to change an exe directly (and usually don't change them )
- Right click on shortcut of outlook, or just create one (send to->desktop)
- Shortcut tab->Change Icon
- It will show some default icons
- select one and click apply
- start program with that shortcut

if you don't like the default icons
- select browse and open an icon file

You should be able to download from internet
or try:
Windows\system32\imageres.dll
Windows\system32\shell32.dll
Windows\system32\DDORes.dll
Windows\System32\moricons.dll (MS DOS Icons)

Please note that this works with regular exe files, but I don't know if it will work with Outlook

Hi,

Thanks for your reply and I've already done what you've suggested. Unfortunately it seems my picture wasn't displayed in my original post so it wasn't obvious what I wanted.

I can get a shortcut with a different icon as you should be able to see in the attached picture, in the Quick Start section of the taskbar.

It's the icon in the minimized Outlook icon I want to change. The one with 'Inbox -....' in the picture,

Thanks,

Kevin
