How to Change the ICON of an EXECUTABLE file (exe)

Some times it becomes necessary to Change the icon of an executable file so that the file gets a new appearance.
For this purpose I have found a nice tool which will modify the executable file and embed the icon of your choice into the file itself. The tool changes the icon of the executable file permanently.

How to use this tool to change the icon of any EXE file.....
1) Go to Shelllabs.com and Download IconChanger Software

2) Install Icon Changer

3) Run the IconChanger program from Start -> All Programs and you should see an
interface.

4) Now you will see a window stating that “Choose an object whose icon you want to change”. Click on the “OK” button

5) Now select the executable file for which you wish to change the icon

6) Icon changer will automatically search for all the icons on your “C:\ drive” so that
you can select any one of those. If your desired icon is not shown in the window, you may paste the path of your icon file in the field which says “Search icons in” so that your desired icon gets displayed

7) Select the ICON of your choice and click on Set button.

8) Now a popup window will appear and ask you to select from either of these two
options.

9) Change embeded icon.
Adjust Windows to display custom icon.
10) Select the first option (Change embedded icon). You are done. The icon gets changed.

Now You Have Done it ... I hope you like this post. If Any Question about this post, Hit Comment
