Changing folder/project icons in Visual Studio 2010

Question

Hello,

Is there a way to change folders and project icons in the Solution Explorer of Visual Studio 2010 ? Example, C# projects have that little C# icon, that is the one that I would like to change -

Thanks

Answer 1

I'm fairly sure it uses normal registry file associations. The HKCR\VisualStudio.cs.10\DefaultIcon key value is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC#\VCSPackages\csproj.dll,1 The 2nd icon in the file with size 16x16 is indeed the icon I see in in the Solution Explorer window.

Backup the key value and change it to your own icon. Restart VS.
