Hello Folks - I have Python 2.6.6 on my Windows 7 system and installed Python 3.2. Now I want to be able to differentiate between the versions and the icon for each version of Python is the same. I figured I would change the the four application files in the C:\Python26 directory - python; python26; pythonw; pythonw26 - and give them new picture icons. But when I select any of these files and choose 'properties', there is no option to change the application icon. I looked online but the questions were not exactly the same as this one and pertained to earlier versions of Python anyway. I discovered this when I was trying to associate a folder with 2.6 based programs so that it would always execute the programs with the python 2.6 .exe. And both Pythons come up as a choice with no details indicating which is which, except a lucky guess.
It does appear that I can change the actual name of the application (the field with the name allows me to edit) but that is not what I wanted to do, also unsure if that would cause a problem in other parts of the application down the road if I was changing names like that.
Thanks for suggestions -
Patty
