Do you mean the Office programs themselves or Office documents?
If the programs, you could use a resource editor (like the free
RESHACKER) to change the icons within the .EXE files, but that may be
technically illegal. IOW, it would constitute altering those files,
but I doubt whether any government would prosecute or MSFT sue if
that's all an individual did. If you mean shortcuts to the Office
programs, if the ones the Office install created can't be modified,
create your own by copying any of the Office .EXE files then pasting
shortcuts to them elsewhere. You should be able to change the icons in
shortcuts you create in folders for which you have read-write access.
If you mean document files, have your system administrators locked
down file type associations via group policies? If so, there'd be no
simple way to change the default icons. If not, you should be able to
customize file type properties in Windows Explorer. Have you tried
doing so and it's failed?
