Change Photoshop or Pro Paint Shop Pro’s Start Up Icons Using Windows XP
01/07/2010 by admin.
This tip demonstrates how to change Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5, Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop Elements’ Shortcut icon; that is, the icon that’s clicked to start the programme. Bear in mind, when selecting a replacement icon you can either select one of Photoshop’s (or Paint Shop Pro’s) built-in icons, or you can select an icon of your choice, perhaps one you have created yourself or downloaded to your PC.
To begin, right-click over a Shortcut icon: I am demonstrating this tip using Photoshop Elements.
Then from the subsequent Properties dialogue box, click the Shortcut tab, and then click the Change Icon tab, then click OK. As demonstrated below.
Then from the subsequent Change Icon dialogue box, either select an icon that you have created or downloaded, by clicking the Browse tab to search your PC, then navigate to the folder where your icon has been previously saved: then highlight the icon and then click OK. Alternatively, left-click to select an icon from Photoshop’s or Paint Shop Pro’s own icon library - as illustrated below, and then click OK.
After clicking OK the icon will then represent your choice.
Congratulations, you have changed your programme’s start icon, and it can be changed back to its original icon at any time in exactly the same way.
Best Wishes.
