Hi,
When I try to customize my QAT, I get a green ball icon for each command
that doesn't have an icon by it in the customize screen. So I currently have
5 or 6 green balls on my QAT and it sort of defeats the purpose of having a
"quick" access toolbar if you have to hover and wait to see what the command
is. Is this something my company has restricted or did Excel do this? How
on earth can I change the picture (icon) so I can distinguish between
commands?

Thanks,

T. Valko's right.
The only one's you can modify the icon for are your own macros.
When you select a "built-in" command, you get what they give..... something
of a YGWTG thing.....
Kinda like the wysiwyg
