Hello B22222c,
if your speaking of icons on your desktop or in your menu sure,
right click on the icon you want to change select properties
select customize tab
select change icon
now you can select an icon from the windows collection or browse to a folder where you have new icons downloaded and wish to use.

Main exe icon are programmed and cannot be changed.

I am speaking when we compress a file with 7zip and the icon of that compressed file is like a windows folder. I dont want to change each icon of each file i compress, i want to choose an icon that every file i compress show the file with that icon i choose... For example winrar compressed files have an icon like a book... This way i have on my desktop a lot of windows folders and 7zip folders that are similar with each other with same color, bring confusion to the desktop...

just to be sure I understand what you need; your saying you want the icon of the compressed files (ie a zip file) to be customized to one you define time you generate a zip file ?

so in simple terms your looking to change a file extension default icon
look at this its a very good step by step for windows 10, if you use windows 7 let me know
