Can I make multiple running instances of the same Windows program have different icons for switching

Running on Win7 I've got multiple instances of the BASH shell open, doing different things.

When I switch windows with ALT-TAB I can't distinguish between them. They all say "Git Bash" a开发者_开发技巧nd they all have the same icon. So I've got to open them in sequence to get the one I want.

No problem when I am toggling between two windows, but it's annoying when I want to find one that I have not opened recently.

I might be able to do this by creating multiple instances of the shell .exe and putting a different icons in each, but that is somewhat restricting.

Is there something closer to what I'd want to do possible.

I had same problems and did some investigations here :) Probably my blog post will help you

The solution is to make several shortcuts for your shell and set different icons in their properties.
