Hi,

XL2003

How could I change the icon for an xls workbook on the desktop, to
custom icon. I have found code through a google search, but it change
all workbooks. I just want to change one workbook icon to a custo
image that I have. Can this be done with code? If so can anyone provid
me with some tips? Or has anyone seen a post on this topic? I may hav
missed some, after a while all the topics in google look like a blur..
:eek:

Thanks for any help

Hi Rockee
Create a shortcut to you Excel file, highlight it and press Alt + Enter to show the properties window, here you can set the icon image. When you look at the file in Explorer it will have the normal .xls associated icon, this you'll find under file types but you don't want to change this. Your shortcut to your Excel file will look and act the same as if you file where on your / users desktop

Hope that help
