desktop icon for Textpad

Post by Cam Fordyce »

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to have an icon of Textpad for files that are associated with Textpad. For example, under Win2k, I can change through the properties box which application a file named test.dtd, to always be opened with Textpad. But it doesn't show up in Explorer with a textpad icon. Does such a thing exist?

thanks,

Yeah, in Explorer, do Tools---Folder Options---File Types

Select the file extension you want, click the Advanced button, and click the Change Icon button. Browse to Textpad.exe and select an icon from there.

Problem seems to be there is no 'Advanced' button available in Win2K?!
