Shortcuts
Changing the icon for a shortcut is quite straight forward.

Right click on the shortcut and select the Properties option
from the popup menu. A Properties window will appear. Click on the
Change Icon button.

A Change Icon window will appear. Into the File name:
field, enter the path of the ICL file containing the icon to be used.
The pathname for the icon library used in this example is
C:\icolib5_shar\256multi\256multi.icl. Highlight the icon to be used
and click on the OK button, or just double click on the icon itself.

The icon will have changed in the Properties window. Click on the OK button.

The shortcut icon has been changed while the original text file icon
remains the same as before. No other icon is changed by this procedure.

You can now try changing some of the System Icons on your computer.
