| Many Ways to get Icon Properties SUMMARY: Get access to an icon's properties with these mouse and keyboard shortcuts.
By accessing an icon's properties, such as a file, folder, or program, you can see the icon's creation date, size, and file type. Plus, depending on the icon type, you can give the icon a shortcut keystroke, change a folder icon's graphic, and more. There are many ways to view the properties of an icon; here are a few:
1. Right-click the icon and select "Properties".
2. Click the icon, press the Properties button if you have a Windows-enabled keyboard (it should be between the right ALT and CTRL keys), and select "Properties".
3. Hold down the ALT key while double-clicking an icon.
