Currently I have associated various text file formats (.md, .txt, .taskpaper) to be opened by sublime text. This results in ALL of them being assigned the SAME icon file, namely the sublime text icon.
How can I get each file format to have its own unique icon file (supplied by me)?
First Attempt
Change the icon associated with one of the file types using FileManType by Nirsoft. The Result: it changes the icon for ALL of the file types that sublime opens (not what I wanted)
Second Attempt
Now I tried to get clever...
- (1) created a shortcut of the sublime exe for each file format
- (2) gave each shortcut its own unique icon, which the shortcut accepted
- (3) set the program that (say) .md files opened with to its own special shortcut etc...
This time it just ignored the icons contained in the shortcuts and remained with the sublime icon
Any ideas?
1It worked perfectly. The program doesn't even need to be installed. I don't like opening PDF files with Edge and since I used Chrome for everything I set Chrome to open PDF but I wanted PDFs to have the adobe red logo instead of the Chrome logo. This made it very simple. Tks +1 – DGaleano – 2017-01-13T15:42:16.207
Needed it for exactly the same reason :) Works perfectly for me on Windows 10 – Elena – 2017-02-25T11:26:11.590
@DGaleano I want to do about the same thing. I want to open both .html and .pdf files with Google Chrome but I want the .pdf icon to show up differently. Cannot figure out how to do that with the "Default Programs Editor". It shows pdf, htm as one set of files to be opened by chrome. So icon changes for both. Any hints? – curious_cat – 2018-05-14T05:23:56.230
