People, When I link some application(executable file) to my desktop and try to change it icon in the following way: 1.Left Click -> Properties... 2.Clicking on the small button with wrench on it. 3.Clicking the icon image and changing it to the one I want, it goes well, but next time I boot to Linux all the Executable Files icons are like that one I putted myself, so all my applications have the same icon. Did I do something wrong? Isn't it a way of changing icons? Thanks in advance, -- Sergey Mkrtchyan Scientific Researcher Department of Molecular Physics, Faculty of Physics, Yerevan State University Tel: (374-10) 55-43-41 Fax: (374-10) 57-76-89

You don't say, but I'm assuming that you're using KDE.
1.Left Click -> Properties...
Are you left handed? For right-handed mice the context menu is activated via the right mouse button.
2.Clicking on the small button with wrench on it.
This is your problem. Note that this icon is associated (perhaps a bitt too weakly) with the file type. To change just the icon associated with a particular desktop item, use the large icon button on the left near the top of the "General" tab. Changes you make there will be confined to the icon you clicked when you started.
3.Clicking the icon image and changing it to the one I want, it goes well, but next time I boot to Linux all the Executable Files icons are like that one I putted myself, so all my applications have the same icon.

As explained above.

Changes you make there will be confined to the icon you clicked when you started. Actually when I tried to change that icon, it wasn't "clickable". But I deleted that link and make a new one, which(at this time) was with "clickable" icon image...and changed it. Now I wonder: How and what link I was making earlier...and why it wasn't "clickable"? Anyway, everything is Ok now.

Now I got it,a lots of thanks for explanation. Best, -- Sergey Mkrtchyan Scientific Researcher Department of Molecular Physics, Faculty of Physics, Yerevan State University Tel: (374-10) 55-43-41 Fax: (374-10) 57-76-89
