How to change icon of a file type?

[Cowgoesmoo2]

I installed Sublime text which changes the default icon which .txt and other files which Sublime opens. It's better than the default text icon appearance, but how do I modify/change this icon so that all these files have a slightly modified version of the "sublime text" icon? There should be a way to change this in the program I feel, for instance in /program files/sublime text/ but I can't see.

Hello Cowgoesmoo2

Many times it is the file association that is responsible for the icons, and changing the association of a file type to a different app changes the icon as well.

In your case, you can switch the file association back to Notepad by going to Start > Settings > Apps > Default apps > Choose default apps by file type.

Feel free to report back for any further assistance.

Cheers!!

Here is some info on how to change and edit icons. The site claims it is for Win 7 and Vista, but at least the changing works in Win 10 also. I haven't tried the editing in this site.
Long ago I used to edit icons in XP using third party tools. Googling "edit icon" was my way of finding the tools for it.
