replace exe's icon

Tomio · Post by **Tomio** » Sun Oct 12, 2003 4:43 pm

An exe with a compiled-in icon (compiler option: use icon).

Is it possible to replace the exe's icon "from outside" (no recompile)?
The new icon is of the same size.

There is a software called "ChangeIcon". I don't know it can also change
applications icon.

Thank's for the tips. I'll check it.

But I had the hope that this could be done "handmade" with PB.

Probabely it's not as easy!

Thanks GPI!

Reshacker is really a great tool. And it can replace the icons easily.
