Icons for EXEs

firefurby · #1 (**permalink**) 04-20-2010, 05:02 PM

I was wondering how I could add icons for EXEs. I know how to do it so the icon changes for the shortcut in the start menu, but I am using Resco's Today Plugin and getting a default icon. Is there a way to associate the PNG with the EXE? TIA

If you're using 6.5 how about JWMD Icon Changer V2.6b for Windows Mobile 6.5

That's to change the shortcut in the Start Menu. I'm looking to associate it with the EXE itself, so this doesn't happen:

See how in the Start Menu Bluetooth Toggle has an icon, but there is no icon associated for it when using File Explorer? I want to fix that.

Oh, you want to change the icon on the actual exe file? Have you tried changing it on the PC then replacing it on the phone? Would that work?

Yes you have to do it in PC. You reshacker and change the icon of the exe. You have to use *.ico files to change icon. Simple google search will get you the icons you want.

Search for File Suite Editor at xda. It will be a lot easier just to use that.
