This is going to sound ridiculously stupid to most of you but... I just started with VB and I created the first "Hello World" program and some other simple ones. I am wondering how to create my own icon on the .exe (when you compile the program) sort of like "assbot". How/where do you go to get a picture on the program instead of a VB form icon? Thanks for your help.

Just go to download.com Search for " Icon Editor "
You should be able to find one quite easily.

Thanks, I was just making sure there wasn't some VB command that I wasn't aware of. Who knows, maybe I'll make a icon editor when I get more experienced. :)

I doubt it.

What kind of a comment is that to make? We'll see who's making snide remarks when Prairie Networks Icon Editor Pro is topping the download.com hit charts ;D

omfg, are you making fun of iconed.exe!?!?
i could like, almost install 98 just for that single file alone!

[edit] anyways, to answer your question, click on the form you want to change the icon of, and find 'icon' in the properties window. then go to project->(projectname) settings, and select the form from the dropdown box

Or you could write your own iconed.exe.

go in yur vb project, open your form, click on it, go in properties window on the right, find 'Icon' click in the empty box next to it, it will open a browse window, choose the icon you just created, repeat for additional forms.
