how can i change the icon?

Perhaps,
D:\temp3>assoc .log
..log=txtfile

reg.exe add "HKCR\txtfile\defaulticon" /ve /d "c:\somewhere\Mynpad.ico" /f

Icon resource may be an icon file or and executable (.exe, .dll)
with a index number as in
C:\winnt\notepad.exe,0

REG.EXE is either installed or can be installed with the "Support
Tools". (for W2K/XP/2K3)


There may be other CLI methods to do this.

Thanks a million,though I had known this method
But,are there any other better ideas?

Great. I hope to read some of them!

Have you also ruled out generating a REG file and importing from the
CLI then?

What (generally) are you looking for? VBS script? Command-line tool
such as the hypothetical:
SetIco.exe ext icopath

Cheers

such tool in windows.
