Changing application icon possible?

Hello everyone!

Using ALT+Tab I can switch between the open applications but I wonder whether I could CHANGE the ICON of the running application (e.g. I launched MS Word, Excel and something else and each one application has its proper icon, all of them displayed in the screen centre of the screen if only the ALT+Tab is pressed)

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Zennon

No. I'd like to change the icon for any other application, e.g. assign the photograph of my girl friend to the running application.
If the application is called and launched 2 times there should be of course 2 same icons of this application in the window that appears when I press ALT + Tab...

I believe u can change the icon for shortcuts to the program. But it wont show up in Alt Tab. Plus the picture u use to replace the icon with, must be same size and rename it to ___*ico
