how to change the icon of .exe file created in vb

[Martyr2]

Well once the file has been compiled and is an exe file, it is like all other exe files and thus you can use any number of free/shareware applications on the net to change the exe icon.

Just look on the net for Icon Changer or you could go a step further and find a program called ResHacker which will allow you to change all sorts of embedded exe file resources including icons, strings, etc.

Good luck to you.

As far as changing while compiling(thru VB) is considered

1) set desired icon file as 'Icon' of a form in ur project.
2) while creating exe, select that form in the list on top-right of the dialog(which appears while creating exe).

Well Nikhil_07n, it depends if he asked for the change to an already compile exe file created in VB or if he wanted to change the icon while in the process of making the program.
