PDF Icon and Defult Reader

[webster]

I have 2 PDF Readers : Acrobat & Foxit.

I just got Foxit and want to make it default, (it's small & fast !)
BUT keep the icon look like traditional Adobe pdf icon
(http://www.psychologie.uni-bonn.de/sozial/lehre/pdf.gif)
instead of Foxit icon.

How to do that ?
thanks

Replace the Foxtrot icon with the Adobe one. Just find the adobe icon
on your HD, make a copy of it, name it the same as the foxit icon, and
replace the foxit icon with your new one.

To replace program...
Right-click on a pdf file->Open With->Choose Program
Then choose the program you want, and check the box
that says "Always use this program to open these files"

To replace icon..
Right-click on icon->Properties->Change icon

The icon is probably in an acrobat exe or dll. To get it out of there use a
program called Reshacker it can be googled or maybe this still works:

No luck that way.
No option to change icon but to change default program

To change the icon, use the Folder Options applet (the "File Types" tab)

I don't think you can change the icon only. You also need to change the
associated default program as all icons are copyright properties of
respective program creators.
