change icon

If you just want to change the icon for a shortcut to the PPS file,
right-click the icon and choose Properties. Depending upon your version of
Windows, you'll find a Change Icon button somewhere.

If you want to change the actual icon associated with all PPS files on your
system, here's how to do it in Windows XP:

1. Open My Computer and choose Tools | Folder Options.
2. Click the File Types to and locate PPS in the Registered File Types.
3. With the PPS file type selected, click the Advanced button.
4. In the resultant Edit File Type dialog box, click the Change Icon button.
5. Browse to where you have saved your custom icon.

This will change the PPS icon only on your system and not in any other
system where you distribute your PPS.
 
Thanks for your fast reply. But I can't find the Change icon button in
Properties. I am using Windows XP. Can you tell me which Windows version
allow me to change the icon?
 
What if I want to change the icon of the pps file, but not a shortcut to it
and I want other people can see that icon in their system, not just mine? Is
it possible to do that?

Click to expand...

Not without messing with the registry and not without changing the icon for
every PPS file on the user's system.

If you do that, some people will be willing to stand in line in the rain and
cold for hours just for a chance to slap you silly. ;-)

Don't go there.
