Change Excel Icon

[Guest]

Is there any way that the Excel Icon can be changed (without creating a
shotcut) but still open as an excel application when clicked?

Many Thanks.

Kevin.

Right click the icon, go to properties, select Change Icon.

AFAIK you cannot change the icon for the Excel.exe file.

But you can change the icon for Excel workbook files.

Without a shortcut, I believe you must go into Windows Explorer>Tools>Folder
Options>File Types.

Scroll down to .xls MS worksheet and select it.

Then Advanced. Click on "Open" and "change icon".

Apply and OK your way out.
