  1. Custom File Icons?


    I've got a program that creates various file types; some of these are associated with the program and display its icon. Is it possible to keep the file association, but change the icons for some of the associated types so they stand out in a listing?

    If so, then ideally I'd like to extract the icon from the exe, make three slightly different versions, and make these display (at all scales) for the three main file types. Any suggestions for tools to do this? I have Photoshop CS5.

    :)

  2. How to use a custom bashrc file or where the file used by the system is located on Windows 10.

    I understand now that we wont be able to edit the file under windows. Right now I guess I'm stuck with vim to edit the bashrc file. I hope that in the future we'll be able to edit files using external programs such as komodo edit.

  3. How to use a custom bashrc file or where the file used by the system is located on Windows 10.

    Original Title: Bash rc file

    With the integration of bash in the latest update, I was wondering if anyone had figured out how to use a custom bashrc file or where the file used by the system is located.

    Hey nigelmercier-

    I'm not sure that I completely understand your question. Are you wondering if you can change the icon to certain folders, which may or may not have already been customized by their respective programs that are within it? If so, yes you can, but I wanted to make sure i understand your question before I type it all out.

    No, it is the file type icons I want to change. The program uses its icon for certain files, I want to expand on that in the same way that Word has different icons for different types of Word files (templates, documents, macro enabled documents etc have slightly different icons)

    Yeah, what I was going to suggest won't work for that. Sorry.
