Change icon of an EXE file

Once, one of my friend ask me how to change the icon of an EXE file. Now in this post I'm giving the answer to him and to all the people who have the same question.

There are many tools available in the market which claims to change the icon of an EXE file. But very few people know that they are not platform independent at all, i.e., if you move a file to a new computer the icon again changes to the previous state. But I'll give you a new method to change the icon permanently.

• First click on the link provided to download an IconChanger software 

          Click Here To Download

• Install the software on your computer by double clicking on the IconChanger38.exe file

• Now, right click on the file of which you want to change the icon

• Here you'll see a new option Change Icon, click on it

• A new window will pop-up of IconChanger software

• The software will then search and list all the icons available on your computer

• Select any one of them and click on SET

• Now a new window will pop-up asking you to select one of the following two options: 

         1. Change embedded icon  
         2. Adjust windows to display custom icon

• Here the first option will change the icon permanently and the second one will changes it only for your computer

• Select the options as per your need

• That's it, your file is now having a new icon

Note: The software can change the icon of any file having any extension and it works on both Windows Xp and Vista.
