    Sure! There are third-party tools, like the ones mentioned in the article above, but this option is also built into Windows and Mac in their default file viewers. You can actually change the properties of just about any executable and add any icon to make it customized to your taste.

    Probably you can't rename file names in .DLL files using resource hacker as these files are reserved by the system and it is linked in system functionality. You can only replace and view the files in resource hacker.
