Not a very useful security mechanism of course, we have year 2014 and viruses infecting executables are almost extinct. Isn’t it beautiful? Wait, what’s this message: “The TOTALCMD executable is corrupted, possible VIRUS! Totalcmd will close.”? Where did Total Commander go? A search quickly tells you that this is a security mechanism and cannot be disabled. Open TOTALCMD.EXE with Resource Hacker, select the resource in the MAINICON icon group, right-click it and choose “Replace Resource” - select the new icon, save file (did you back up the original version?), done. ICO format (I liked the one by arrioch) and Resource Hacker. Well, not really a problem - changing resources in Windows applications is fairly easy.Īll you need a new high-resolution icon in.

Wine doesn’t allow configuring the icon however, the source code shows that it will read the icon from the application resource unconditionally. Having the standard application icon display on OS X is somewhat awkward however: with 32×32 pixels it is simply too small, one would need a significantly larger icon for it to fit nicely into the OS X user interface. So I keep running it via Wine and it works surprisingly well. Well, maybe not… Still, I couldn’t find any file manager for Linux or OS X that would work as well as Total Commander. Maybe you are like me and tend to drag along your favorite Windows applications even though you switched away to a different operating system a while ago.
