I don't have Active Sync installed so I am not sure which executable or DLL file the icon is stored in. However, you could use a program like Resource Hacker to edit that exectuable or DLL file and change the icon by replacing the resource.

Cheers they are the Umicons set with my own special twist hence the 256 colour mobile device icon was scabby so changed it to an image of my IPAQ
