It there a way to apply a different icon to my .php .js and .css files and yet open them with the same app (Sublime Text or Notepad++).

I tried using FileTypesMan in no avail.

It changes the icon of the app and thus all other file types that are assoc. with this app.

I just want to apply icons like these and open them with the same app: enter image description here

  • @NathanC Yep, that should do it. – Aaron Miller May 24 '13 at 20:09
  • Yep, I knew about the RegEdit solution. I just needed something more user friendly with UI. Thanks. – Miro May 24 '13 at 20:23
  • @miro: I don't understand why FileTypesMan didn't help. When you edited the .JS or .CSS file type and specified the icon, what exactly did you select as the Default Icon? – Karan May 25 '13 at 00:20
  • All file types that use the same app get the same icon. So when I change the .css icon, the .js and .php icons also changes to the same icon because they are all handled by Notepad++. – Miro May 25 '13 at 01:01

There's no Windows-native way of doing that. Your options are: either to manually edit registry or use 3rd-party tools such as Types to make these changes.

  • Nope. It does exactly the same thing as change icon trough windows. Both .js and .css get the same icon because they are handled by the same app. – Miro May 24 '13 at 21:43
  • @miro are you associating files or changing their associated icons? – Mxx May 25 '13 at 02:21
  • Trying to change their associated icon. But when I change the icon for .js it also changes the icon for .css – Miro May 25 '13 at 03:00
