Customising file icons

[Sonali Gogia]

Is there a way to change the icons of a file type to help
you identify them differently. For example, can we have
more than one icon for a power point Presentation ?

Hi Sonali,
Since one kind of file type can have only one kinda icon, so that I think is
not possible, but there is a workaround. You can create shortcuts for the
files...for example for the powerpoint presentations. Then you can pull up
the properties sheet of the shortcut and change the icon by clicking on
"Change icon".
