Change the icon of a single, specific file I want to change the icon of a single, specific file, eg. not all the docs file, only one .doc file (and this change should even persist). Is this possible? How?
Open the image that you would like to be the icon in Preview.
Press ⌘A to select the entire image and press ⌘C to copy it.
Get Info (⌘I) on the folder.
Click the existing icon in the top-left and press ⌘V to paste the icon from Preview.


To revert back to the default icon, Get Info on the folder, click your icon and press ⌫.
