Do you want to do this through code?
If not simply right click on the shortcut and choose Properties.
Click on the Shortcut tab and then on the Change Icon button. Type in (or browse to) the path of the icon to use.

Best regards

I want to do it by code!

When i created an shortcut by code it automaticly choses the default icon for that program. When i make a chortcut to a folder it betcomes an folder icon. I want to change that icon to an globe-icon.

The easiest way to create a shortcut is to use the same type of shortcuts that Internet Explorer uses.
If you drag a link from a webpage in IE and drop it on the desktop it creates a shortcut file with a .url extention.
This file is actually a pure text file.

[InternetShortcut]
URL=c:\windows
IconIndex=0
IconFile=c:\windows\notepad.exe

The above example would create a shortcut to the Windows directory and use the first icon in Notepad.exe as its icon.
If you save a file like that with the .URL extention on your desktop you've just created a shortcut.

Good luck!

Thanx!!!
