    change default icon for pocket pc app

    Hello,

    Wondering where I can find some examples on how to change the default icon for a ppc app via the Registry, if possible?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Your own app or another?

    If you own, just look in project properties - if for another app I don't know of a way

    Hi Pete,

    Thx. for the response. It's appreciated. Unfortunately, the app is not my own. However, I was wondering if the registry entries could be modified to change to icon. I've seen the following done but I'm certain if it's correct:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Application Name\DefaultIcon
    Default value is 'binary, - resID'

    If the above is correct, I was wondering if I could add my icon to the registry and then refer to the appropriate resID? Or, if I could refer to the icon directly rather than using resID? For example, Default value is "\Application Name\images\myImage.ico"

    Any help is appreciated.

    You checked the PocketPC registry to see if those keys exist?

    I doubt they do
