Any way to change the defaut icon for a file type?

Hello.

I have an icon that I really like to use for file types docx. I would like to make it my default icon for that file type so that when I change an Icon package it always uses the my icon instead of the packages icon or the windows default icon.

Is there anyway to do this?

Hi Zubaz, I hope you don't mind me braking into this post herolover6 created but I have the same problem, I like him have a problem with my icon for word-pad, it is a rich text icon, I go to the icon right click and carry out the details you set out above but the icon will not change.
I have tried always, its the only one to do it, i use Icon-packager and if I load another Icon theme they all change bar that one.
would you have any idea's please, I know its not the beall and endall but its bugging me why it wont change, If you need more info i can supply if you want.

regards

johnjanet Create a shortcut to Wordpad. You will be able to change the icon for your shortcut into any you want. Once changed it will remain as you've selected. IconPackager does not change all icons on your system when you apply a new package.
