And you want to change it in your code? That's not possible. You can't alter a running executable (there are hacks for this but basically you can't). And even if you could it'd be a tough task to do it in DB anyway. Why not use an external tool for that?

Making The Icon
---------------

As you might know, icons are any size images saved under the extension .ico . Get the picture you want, and go to START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Command Prompt or START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Ms-Dos Prompt and open it. type

CD path of file[ENTER]
REN file name + extension file name.ico

Where path of file is the path (ie. C:\WINDOWS),
file name is name only and extension is the extension (ie. .bmp) .

Changing The Icon
-----------------

Changing the icon is limited . You can only change shortcut icons.
To change the icon:

1. Create a shortcut by right-clicking on the actual program, and clicking Create Shortcut
2. Right-click on the shortcut and click on Properties
3. Click on the tabs on top until the window has a button that says Change Icon
4. Click Browse and then find your icon!

Important!
On Screen items may vary.
