    im guessing windows?
    and im guessing you wanna change the icon and title in the windows title bar?

    well, i haven't messed with the icons enough to say but its a little more complicated than changing the text.

    heres how to chang the window title anywhere in the program you have a handle

    #include <windows.h>

    char text[] = "oo Title Changed!! oo"

    SetWindowText(my_window_handle, text);

    function prototype:

    BOOL SetWindowText(
    HWND hWnd,
    LPCTSTR lpString
    );

    If you have an icon as a resource:
    Code:
    SetClassLong(MainWindow, GCL_HICON, (LONG)LoadIcon(CurInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(ProgramIcon)));
    ShowWindow(MainWindow, SW_HIDE);
    ShowWindow(MainWindow, SW_SHOW);
    MainWindow is the window, ProgramIcon is the ID of the icon and CurInst is the first HINSTANCE parameter in WinMain.
    The reason I hide then show the window again is that the icon will be misplaced otherwise...
