Changing .EXE icon

Program icons are embedded. Use DevC++ to compile it, there is an option to embed a custom icon, I'm not sure where it is, but I'm sure that the help file will tell you.
Or like Skyler said, use a special program.
f you play a Microsoft CD backwards you can hear demonic voices. The scary part is that if you play it forwards it installs Windows.

Yeah, I downloaded some programs that said they could do it. The only one that came close was one that actually imbedded it into the file (like you said...) but I tried to imbed a 32x32x256 icon into it and it said "WRONG FORMAT! Icon must be 0x0x255" which, of course, makes absolutely no sense at all.
I ended up creating a workaround and made an installer program using advanced installer that puts a shortcut on the desktop and in the start menu... which, of course, are easy to make icons work for. So it's pretty much over and done with. On a side note, though... is there a way to imbed an icon into a program compiled with FB?

If FreeBASIC can use resource files just like C and C++, then you can embed icons. ![[Image: 1403.png]](http://file-pasta.com/r/1403.png) ^ Infrosoft http://www.thecodeyouneed.us.to/ - A wiki of source code, mostly in PHP and FreeBASIC http://www.osadvocacy.uk.to/ - Your opinion matters no matter your OS

Well, what is it?

Ahh... I see... you want me to show some initiative and go look for myself. Well, I don't need that information at the moment, so I won't.

You include a resource file into the application. It's not hard.
As for the "Change Icon" thing, that only works for shortcuts.

yeah you need to compile your resource iirc with something like... gorc.exe on windows. then you just link it in the exe (i believe it has to be the *first* object (.o) files linked, but i might be wrong on that.
