Hi James,
The problem is that the icon for any particular file type is taken from
the program that it is linked to. If you had Word on the pc and had doc
files associated with it, then they would display the Word icon. As soon
as you make OOo the default program for opening doc files, the icon will
change to the OOo icon. It may be possible to 'fake out' Windows by
creating a new document type to associate doc files with and have them
still open with OOo. I've got XP on a laptop. I'll see what I can do,
but I don't have much hope.

I install OOo on all the computers I sell and instruct the new users to:
1. save in OOo format for internal use
2. save in PDF to send non-editable documents to other people
3. save in M$ Word format to send editable docs to Word users
All of these customers have Windows XP as their OS
The customers therefore end up with a mixture of .sxw, .doc, and
.pdf files in their "My Documents" folder.
The PDF docs have the default Adobe Acrobat Reader icon
The OOo docs have the default OOo icon
The Word docs also have the OOo icon
I followed the M$ WinXP Help instructions to change the workd docs
icon, but the property these instructions referred to was not present
in the dialog box. I owuld like *.doc documents to be ditinguished
from true OOo *.sxw documents by having a different icon.
Does anyone know how to change an OOo icon under Windows XP?
Many thanks, James Elliott
