That's very interesting.

I can not repeat the effects you described on my XP SP2 system.

I didnt like the way the new file was created so I changed the behaviour to rename the old file and new file has the old files name.

[code=thinbasic]'---Rename the old exe
FILE_Rename(sExeFile, Mid$(sExeFile,1,Len(sExeFile)-3) & "OLD.Exe")
'---Save the new exe
FILE_Save(sExeFile , sExeBuffer)

'---All done.
[/code]

Thanks Michael,

worked good here!

Maybe it would be nice to make a separate thread for your version of icon changer, keeping the first post updated with the latest release.

Hi Michael,

The icon changer program works. But if I change view setting in folder where icon is located from "small" icons to "tiles", "medium icons", "large icons" or "extra large icons" the thinbasic box icon reappears every time.
When I reset folder view to "small" icons - the changed icon returns!

Just out of interest could you try this

it looks safe but check it yourself, anyway it shows all thinbasic files as having one icon my main computer.
