ROCKY132010/03/14 04:52 Some times it becomes necessary to change the ICON of an executable(.exe) file so that the exe file gets a new appearence.Many of the Tools such as TuneUP Winstyler does this job by adjusting the Windows to display a custom icon to the user.But in reality when the file is carried to a different computer, then it shows its original ICON itself.This means that inorder to permanantly change the ICON, it is necessary to modify the executable file and embed the ICON inside the file itself.Now when this is done the exe files ICON is changed permanantly so that even if you take file to a different computer it shows a new icon.
ROCKY132010/03/14 04:52 For this purpose I have found a nice tool which modifies the exe file and will embed the ICON of your choice into the file itself. ie:The tool changes the exe ICON permanantly.
Ill give you a step-by-step instruction on how to use this tool to change the icon.

3. Now you will see the option Change IconClick on that option.
4. Now the Icon Changer program will open up.

6. Now select the ICON of your choice and click on SET.
7. Now a popup window will appear and ask you to select from either of these two options.
