Ok, two questions here...
1. How do I put an Icon on a '.exe' file?
2. How do I make the console window run in fullscreen?
(Is there a 'system' command?)
Two Questions.

You make the .exe and then you right click. Then properties. Then Advanced. Then set the icon.

That is only in windows 2000 & XP.

Only people who didn't know that.

There's code on these forums that will force a console window to full screen. I suggest you do a search and see what you find
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
Thanks man, I found one that helped...

A resource is part of the exe file, but it is not part of the executable machine code. (Maybe it's part of the file header.)
How you add it depends on your compiler. I don't remember exactly... but with MSVC++ it's something like click ADD -> RESOURCE -> MyIcon.ico.

Look up how to make resource files (it can be done with a text editor). I believe the function you need is LoadIcon from the WinAPI.
Away.
Menu "Project" -> "Project Options" : Tab "Common" -> Group box "Icon": Select button "Library", "Load from file" or "Remove".
This will add one icon as a resource and creates a binnary header in the compiled exe that tells Windows to display this icon for the file.
Not sure how to add your own resources to the project (like other bitmaps etc.) in DevC++.
