There's a program in the Public Domain called DefaultIcon which puts an icon on
the Workbench, and creates an icon for anything dragged onto it, depending on
whether it's a drawer, tool or whatever. It can also recognise specific types
of file by their headers. I found it quite useful when I created a new set of
icons for WB2.0, as I could just select a load of drawers in one go, drag them
over, and they'd all be changed to my new drawer icon.
