    Cool Creating an icon for an executable

    How would I go about putting an icon/picture for and exe file instead of that plain old blue/white dos screen pic? You know, like they do on commerical programs. I'm running MSVC 6.
    Thanks

    in the WNDCLASS or WNDCLASSEX structure there is a param hIcon and hInconSm, just set that equal to your custom icon resource number, or call LoadIcon look it up for more info
