Default How to change desktop icon for a specific VBS script

I know how to change the icon associated with all .VBS file types, but is
there any way to change the icon for an individual .VBS file so it can be
distinguished from all the other .VBS icons on a Desktop? You cannot find a
"change icon" button in the Properties, so are there any other ways to make
this happen? Thanks.

Two options I can think of:

1) Use a shortcut to the script. Shortcuts can have individual icons reassigned.

2) Create a new file extension (.vbq) with the same actions as .vbs but with a different icon.

Good Luck,
Keith

icons compleatly (not free)
