Some times it becomes necessary to change the ICON of an executable (.exe) file so that the exe file get’s a new appearence. Many of the Tools such as TuneUP Winstyler does this job by adjusting the Windows to display a custom icon to the user. But in reality when the file is carriedto a different computer, then it shows it’s original ICON itself. This means that inorder to permanantly change the ICON, it is necessary to modify the executable file and embed the ICON inside the file itself.Now when this is done the exefile’s ICON is changed permanantly so that even if you take file to a different computer it show’s a new icon.
For this purpose I have found a
tool which modifies the exe file and will embed the ICON of your choice into the file itself. ie : The tool changes the exe ICON permanantly.
