Can anyone tell me how to change the icon on a Microsoft file/shortcut -- for example, an excel spreadsheet or MCE recording?

rt click the shortcut

PS its not generally a terribly good idea to store files on your desktop

Thanks for the reply. Got the point. Most are copies that I am working on
at the moment. Sorry about oversight. I should have mentioned I'm using
windows 7 and office 2007. Right click on most icons gives me an option to
change the icon under one of the properties tabs. Right clicking on Office
and MC files does not -- at least I can't find it.
