ddl Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Is there any possible way to change the "Daqfactory" default icon "Z" for my .ctl file. I have several Daqfactory applications on my desktop and I want to make each .ctl file to have it own icon instead of the default "Z" icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That's actually a Window's feature. I believe you will have to create a shortcut to DAQFactory.exe and put the path to your .ctl doc in the target (as described in the help under Other Features -> Runtime). Then you can go to the properties of the shortcut and change its icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddl Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 I mean changing the "file.ctl" icon not the short cut icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That's a limitation of Windows. Since .ctl is associated with DAQFactory it displays the icon of DAQFactory. You'd have to remove the association, but then it would affect all your .ctl docs. Your best bet is to create a shortcut for each .ctl doc. There is nothing else we can do. You could also search the web for a solution. There probably is some tool that allows you to assign custom icons to files in Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
