    Icon change question.


    I changed the icon of google chrome via resource hacker and it worked, the icon is changed, question is when I have a google
    Chrome window open and hover my mouse on the taskbar to see the window preview it shows the old icon. When can I go to change that. With resource hacker I changed the icon and replaced the exe with the new one and the icon changed everywhere except for the taskbar window preview

    I believe it is hard coded to the exe and trying to change it would interfere with windows security features.
