Changing File Types Icon...

Post by BurnOmania »

It would be very nice if you can add an option to change FILE TYPES ICONS extension or at least make it easier at Tools\Folder Options\File Types .

thanx in advance

Additionally it can use custom file type icons for associations and create new items in the right-click menu of the associated file types.

:) Hello !

• You can do that in Total Commander F.M. :
Files Menu >> Associate with… >> Edit type >> Change icon…
- 30-day gratis trial period, not any restriction of functions…

:) Hello !

• You have nothing more to purchase, your licence is still valid !
- Just download and install the newest version over the old one (7.02a).
- All upgrades and updates are free of charge, the licence is valid "for life" as long as you download the new versions. :D
