Posted this in another of your threads and then I saw this one so I'll post it here as well.

Quote: "Lastly, a little off topic here but is there a way to change to icon of the exe"
It is possible to change the icon and I've done it before... a few moons ago . I used to have the third party programs that were needed to do it and I wrote a little tut on how to do so. You needed one program to create an icon, another to replace the icon in the exe, and another to size it to what the old one was. It was hit and miss, but did work sometimes.
It's my limited understanding that it is the size of the icon (not what you do with it) that counts. If the icon is the wrong size (in bytes) then it throws everything else off, and the program doesn't start or end in the proper place. I hope someone can verify or correct/expand on that for us.
If this is the case (and even if it isn't but I can learn the full cause) I may be able to write an app to change the icon. It seems interesting, and certainly useful.

EDIT: As it turns out, there is a free program called
IcoFX 1.6 that has everything you need to change the icon. You just need to keep them (both the 16x16 and the 32x32) the same size and depth (8bit - 256 color). As for changing the associated text, Resource Hacker will take care of that if you don't make huge changes.
That said, I can understand wanting to personalize your creation, but remember to give credit were credit is due. Include the "Created with FPS Creator" line somewhere in the credits.
