Icon Replacement

Is there a way to replace the icon that is for an exe? I tried using a resource hacker, but that didn't help much...

 

Some IDE's have a wizard for it. It all depends on what you're programming with. Most people embed the ico file and reference to it in the file header.

 

Are you talking about creating one in an uncompiled program or changing one of an existing compiled program?

I need one for an EXE I had made awhile back and lost the source code for...
So there really is no way for me to recompile it.

 

Not sure about changing the icon of the exe there if it's embedded in the source and you no longer have it... but what if you created a shortcut - couldnt you just change the icon of the shortcut? Just a thought.

 

Resource hacker couldn't do it? Try ExeScope ...

Just dig down to the icon and under file select import/export and save the project.
