I created a shortcut to an Access application on the desktop using a batch file with the following command:

Copy "C:\OldPath\AccessDB.mdb.lnk" "C:\Documents And Settings\UserName\Desktop"

How do I change the icon (the picture displayed) of the shortcut using the batch file.

I'm using Access 2000.

Thanks!
 
Right click on the shortcut, left click on properties. From there click "change icon" .
 
Not sure you can do that with a batch file (I've never seen a way).
 
I thought he was just wanting to change the icon of the shortcut that was leading to the batch file. Thats the reason I said that, he might be meaning something else but thats what I got from it lol.
