Your desktop looks plain and boring? Get Icon Changer! Icon Changer is a software application that makes changing icons fun and easy. It's a hassle-free way to personalize your desktop without submerging yourself into reading books about advanced computing. Simply click the icon you want to change, point at the one you like and that's all. Why change icons? To make navigation easier, to group similar applications together, to customize and spice up your desktop, of course. But it's not all for fun and games. Have you ever worked with Word or Excel files? Then you know that all the documents created with these (and other) applications "inherit" the icon from the program they were created with. But what if you have some Word documents for a school project, some for business and some for legal correspondence? Would it not be great to label all of these files differently, so you know what each document is for, instead of trying to guess from the name or folder location, or else, reading it. The same technique can be used to easily distinguish folders.
Where are you going to get all these icons from? Don't worry, Icon Changer automatically scans for all icons available on the hard-drive and extracts them even from executable and dll files. Cursor and bitmap files are supported as well. You definitely will be surprised by how many amazingly cool icons you have on your computer hard-drive and did not even know about.
The program can be activated in a variety of ways, including via context menu. The interface of this application is Explorer-like, making it easier to navigate and use. The other advantages of Icon Changer are file type filtering options, recursive directory search, easy access to favorite icons, and automatic resolution adaptation.
Best of all, Icon Changer is free to try. Get your copy now! 35
