Is there a way to change solution/file icons in solution explorer? I would like to make some custom icons, but didnt find on the web how to do it.

Thank you

    You cannot do it within VS itself. If you look at the File Icons extension that Mads created you can see that the file associations are stored in the (now virtual) registry under ShellFileAsssocations. If you wanted to change the icons you'd need to create your own extension and set up the new icons. Note however that it is possible that another extension (or VS) may overwrite your options in the future since last person wins.
