How about something more descriptive.. tell us exactly what you're looking to do. When do you want to change the icon? your question leaves a lot of things unanswered... if you're more specific, someone should be able to give you an asnwer..

Ok, I have an exe file. I make a shortcut to it.
On the shortcut:
I right click, go to properties, and click on the shortcut tab, and click Change icon.
I only see one icon listed in here.
Alot of programs (Picture editors and such) have many to choose from.
I would like to have many icons listed here.
Anyone know how to do this?
BTW:(By the way) Having more forms with icons doesn't add anymore.
I think what he wants is to have a lot of choices with icons in the exe file, ever seen the shell.dll (I think that's the one) it has like 30 icons in it, and u can choose whichever one u want for the shortcut... I've seen many games with 3 or 4 icons "packed" into the exe file.. I think u'll have to use the resource editor and add additional icons in the project... That's what I think.. I don't know though
Yea, thats what i am trying to do. Anyone know how to do it.
I think VB6 supports some sort of user-defined resources.
If not, you'll need to use some sort of resource editor
If, oh the other hand, I'm actually right, you can generate the required .RES file with VC++.
(Or you can do it the way I would and write your own program - in VB - to take a bunch of .ico files and make a .RES file)
