How do I create a icon?

[prairienetworks]

     This is going to sound ridiculously stupid to most of you but...  I just started with VB and I created the first "Hello World" program and some other simple ones.  I am wondering how to create my own icon on the .exe (when you compile the program) sort of like "assbot".  How/where do you go to get a picture on the program instead of a VB form icon?  Thanks for your help.

Just go to download.com Search for " Icon Editor "
You should be able to find one quite easily.

Thanks, I was just making sure there wasn't some VB command that I wasn't aware of.  Who knows, maybe I'll make a icon editor when I get more experienced.

I doubt it.

I doubt it.

What kind of a comment is that to make? We'll see who's making snide remarks when Prairie Networks Icon Editor Pro is topping the download.com hit charts

omfg, are you making fun of iconed.exe!?!?
i could like, almost install 98 just for that single file alone!

[edit] anyways, to answer your question, click on the form you want to change the icon of, and find 'icon' in the properties window. then go to project->(projectname) settings, and select the form from the dropdown box

Or you could write your own iconed.exe.

Edit: added some words
