Could you tell what is the IDE, project type and library you are using (for example Win32 API, MFC, etc)

win32, just pathches a few addresses.

Then I suppose you are using the RegisterClass/RegisterClassEx function

The WNDCLASSEX structure contains handle of the Icon to use
Here is the sample code

thanks heaps.

For the icon that you see on your exe in explorer, you have to compile the icon as a resource in your exe.

Alternaviely you could use an app like Resouce Hacker for it.
