Hi there... My question sounds kinda stupid, but the truth is, I really don''t know the answer: How can I change the icon for my app (using VStudio 6)? I don''t mean the icon displayed in the window title, or task-bar, or whatever, but the icon that is shown in Explorer. Thx Drag0n

Are you using MFC?

Rename the original .ico file with a new icon file. Make sure you have created a package of icons 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48. Use IconCool Editor to assemble the icons.

No, I''m not using MFC.

What do you mean by "Icon package"?
