- 1. Open the icon editor and create (or edit) the icon and use the
- File-->"Save as" feature to rename the icon (assuming you don't
- want to overwrite the original).
-
- 2. Open the settings for your program(s) and use the 'Find' feature to
- locate the icon.

- I keep a directory (with subdirectories) for icons. That way, I can use
- the same icon for multiple files (I don't think that, after program
- object-icon association, the icon itself is then incorporated into the
- extended attributes; I'm not certain), and make a single change and have
- all references to the icon change as well. I'll look for a single-step
- solution to object-icon association sometime this weekend.
