I have a exe to a app thats in development from some programmer .
But he didnt give it a ico image.
Is there a way to give the exe itself a ico image ?
( I don't want to make a shortcut to it )
Thanks.
Note ( I attempted to use Resource Hcker ; but the files for the exe in question appears to have no
Icon or .ico folders . I guess because it has no icon . Its just a generic looking exe.
Icon files are included in the .exe file of a program or a supporting .dll file by the programmer. You'd have to use a graphics editor such as MSPaint to create the .ico file then rewrite the .exe file to include either the icon or a link to where the file is located. Creating a shortcut is the easiest way and in Properties of the shortcut use one of the Change icon choices provided by Windows or a custom icon located in the same Folder as the program installed in.
Put a shortcut in the programs folder and add the icon if you don't want it on the desktop or start menu.
i tried RH, but it wont work in this case. because there is no icon folder in this exe. i pretty much given up on trying .
Actually the answer was in Resource hacker. I just wasnt noticing which button to press . some steps also can cause error in its menu preventing it from saving as .Eventually the settings worked after repeated attempts.
Now i dont need a shortcut .
