Change Excel default Icon (on Windows 7)

I have searched if this issue was previously asked, but it seems that other questions are quite similar, but not exactly.

What I want to do is simple : -change Excel default Icon. (when navigating in folders & desktop of my user session)

For your information : I use Windows 7.

Anyone can help me please ? Thanks

Solution

  • right click, properties, shortcut, change Icon, you can see that the icon set is here:

    %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Root\VFS\Windows\Installer{90160000-000F-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}\xlicons.exe

    Here you can select any other Icon, but to change the defult, I am pretty sure you need to replace the xlicons.exe file.
