Change the Icons of Desktop Items There is a faster way to change desktop icons. If you check display properties, there's a tab called effects. From there you can change some of the desktop icons.

doing it by hand isn't faster than putting all such changes in a batch script using, for example:
reg add "HKCR\CLSID\{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon" /v "(Default)" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%%SystemRoot%%\system32\shell32.dll,17" /f
