Make or get your icon, then add it into your resource script. Now you can load it into you windows class for your window to use that icon. If you mean the executable, in Dev-C++ when I just add the icon into the resource script and compile it makes that icon my exe's icon.

icon forge is great
but.....
im very new to programming
so can u maybe post the icon code with "hello world" so that i can better understand
Since I can't post zip files or Dev projects and resource scripts, PM me your email and I will email it to you, ok?

Hi,
For those who might be interested, there is a MSDN article, "Creating Windows XP Icons".
The URL is:This article discusses how to design and create colorful and dynamic icons for Windows XP using a vector program, such as FreeHand or Illustrator, and Photoshop. (19 printed pages)

Best Regards,

If you are at the 'Hello World' stage then why are so so worried about what your icon looks like?
Yes, I agree.

well i thought i might add a personal touch to some of my programs
Everyone likes making funky icons for their programs
Yeah, but I can't send you an example project that uses an icon without an email address.
