Is there any way to change an icon of one file that I received? (This particular file has .exe extention, but I want to know about files of all possible extensions)


There is a good piece of software called "Resource Hacker". It is very useful for changing icons of files, but it only works with Microsoft files. What about other files?

Are you talking about changing the icons of compiled AHK scripts? If so, please see the program (Located on your computer) Convert .ahk to .exe.

Use Resource Hacker. You can change the icon and any other resources.

It only supports Win32 applications.

AFAIK, Resource Hacker and XN Resource Editor are designed only for win32 PE executable format, I don't know about other formats like those on *nix platforms.
Please note that Resource Hacker or XN Resource Editor can't change resources of binary compressed with exe-compressor such as UPX
(you would need to decompress it first, but be careful-make backup as sometimes files can get corrupted)
