While the creation of a shortcut to an .exe file starts with the icon of 
the .exe file, it's very easy to change the icon of the shortcut.  "Change 
Icon" is a command button at the bottom of the "shortcut" tab on the 
"Properties" menu of shortcuts in Windows 2000.  You change icon
by finding 
(browsing to) a new .ico file or a new icon located inside of some .dll 
file (and elsewhere, I'm sure).  That has satisfied my needs for a 
"different" icon.  Mine is just a big solid bright red square with g32 in 
white on it -- quickly recognizable on the "Send To" list.

My reaction would be to write up an instruction on how to change the icon 
using a 3rd party icon editor/installer.  What one would you 
recommend?  It's a good lesson on how windows works.
