RE: Shortcuts in windows installation project



Hi Alex,

If you really want to change the default icon of the target machine excel
file, you may update the corresponding registry key in the target machine
via your setup package. For a Office 2003 excel file, the corresponding key
is:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.***.8\DefaultIcon

You need to specify the new icon file(or location) in that key, it will
take effect after reboot...


Thanks!

Best regards,

Gary Chang
