icons compleatly (not free)

Two options I can think of:

1) Use a shortcut to the script. Shortcuts can have individual icons
reassigned.

2) Create a new file extension (.vbq) with the same actions as .vbs but with
a different icon.

Good Luck,
Keith

Nothing in the description implies that it will allow more than one icon for a particular filetype (.vbs), determining which icon to apply based on filename, which is essentially what the OP is asking for. But I'm not familiar with IconPackager...are you sure about what you are saying?

Actually Keith's shortcut is the easiest as it is target file type
independent.
