Start Menu Program Icons

I have been trying to change my program icons in the Start Menu.
Right-click/Properties/Custom/Change Icon. Most will not change the icon. I
go thru all the steps and nada. I want to change those little yellow folder
icons into some more interesting icons. Is there something I am missing or
is this another lost ability in Vista?

Re: Start Menu Program Icons

Hi,

Try log off and log on after changes. Vista cashed all start menu and
you don't see changes immediately.

BTW:
You may try Vista Start Menu program:

Convenient alternative to the Start menu.

With "Single-click launch" function in PRO version you don't need
change icons manually, also you be able run program in one click!
