    Desktop Icons

    Hi All,
    I want to write a program which changes the default icon of a desktop shortcut to my own icon. The program is a html executable and the default icon sucks, so i want to change it programmatically (the program will be installed on many different computers). Does anybody know how to do this? I have found code which installs a shortcut on the desktop, but none that successfully changes the icon.

    Any help would be great.

    Thanx all.

    This gives you information on shortcuts, including offsets for icon filenames. My guess is you modify the shortcut file to use another icon rather than the default.
