Png files are not the proper file format for system icons. You need the .ico format or you can convert the png files using ConvertIcon (http://converticon.com/). Once you have the files in the proper format you can change the icons like normal.

Normally an icon has to be in .ico format to be recognized as an icon to be used for an application. At least that is what i am familiar with . png might work also.



However best thing to do is run a search for the file, and then copy and paste it into the location that the other icons are in. This will be somewhere in the C harddrive under Windows. This may be difficult and confusing however because there will be many possible locations. An easier way to find the location of the icons is to open the change icon application and then in an editable bar it should say %26quot;Look for icons in this file: and then there should be a lot of random text. Double click that and copy it. Then open up my documents, and in the top address bar paste the address you just copied and click enter. This should take you to the location of all the default icons, here you should copy the new icon you have downloaded from the internet, and it should appear in the Change Icon application.



Also make sure the file is the right file, as i said before .png mite not work, but there is also a problem sometimes with size. Icons have to be specific dimensions to work.



Finally if you still cannot seem to get your file as an icon, run a search and find the icon, then copy and paste it to your desktop. Then in the change icon window, click browse, then click desktop, then double click your .png icon file. This should change it



Hope this helps



Cheers



P.S. I have just confirmed the file type must be, .ico, .icl, .dll, or .exe to work as in icon
