How can I efficiently replace the icon for documents/files of a certain type?

How can I efficiently replace the icon for documents/files of a certain type? I've downloaded a set of Adobe CS4 replacement icons, and I'd like to change the Adobe applications/document icons I have to use this new set. Is there an easy and efficient way I can do this?

"Document/File Type icons are easily changed with Default Programs Editor

Start the program and click on File Type settings then Icon (as pictured below). Choose the document type you want to change the icon for. On the following page, you can choose a new icon for that document type."

"In olden times, people used Resource Hacker to do this. If there's better alternatives today, I can't say.
