icon OTHER than the space-ship?

how would i go about getting a new icon to the .exe file compiled by blitz, the spaceship is kinda irrelevant to my current project, i've got an icon set up, but if anyone could also tell me what the standard resolution for an icon is, i'd appreciate that too, thanks :D

You need to create an .ico file:

To replace it, you could use ResHacker on your .exe or on the file 'runtime.dll' in the blitz3d\bin directory.
I haven't tried the program, but I found this when searching for 'freeware ico painter':

I use this prog... it wont alter the actual .EXE file`s icon (I dont think?)... but it creates a desktop icon of your own design when you use it with `Clickteam Install Maker`!!
