Hi,

Now that I have my desktop icon issue fixed I still have allot of one's previously created by Firefox that need updated to match. Is there a bulk way of going about this without having to do one at a time? I did a search on the web but the articles are either really old or just don't apply to what I want to do.

I did have a thought, if I were to switch browsers and make that one the default it will change all the icons but will it change to a universal icon if I switch back to Firefox?

Thanks so much
Richard

I prescribe icons for each browser, example for Firefox.

Reg Add "HKCR\FirefoxHTML-308046B0AF4A39CB\DefaultIcon" /ve /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "$ExtLibraryIcons,-17" /f
Reg Add "HKCR\FirefoxURL-308046B0AF4A39CB\DefaultIcon" /ve /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "$ExtLibraryIcons,-44" /f
Reg Add "HKCR\FirefoxPDF-308046B0AF4A39CB\DefaultIcon" /ve /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "$ExtLibraryIcons,-13" /f

Update
I apologize, I forgot that a new installation browser will overwrite these values.
Use in a script for browser installation.

Or use a browser, but don't make it the default browser.
