I must be thick but..... how do I change the default icon if the Blitz3D executable file. I have windows XP but when I try to do it the usual way, right click, properties etc. The change icon option isn't there. Can someone help.. Please..........

Use ResourceHacker, or Microangelo to do that. Alternatively, there's a Blitz user which have made an app that changes a blitz icon, sorry I don't recall now who he/she is. Sergio.

There's a tutorial on just this subject over at Blitzcoder in the articles section.

I use IconForge. Either of semar's suggestions should work too however, and his suggestion is free.

I use Reshacker. I am pretty sure it is free and I didn't have to pay for mine! I use Irfan View to make the .ICO files for use... -Rook

This code http://www.blitzbasic.co.nz/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=805 will convert an image to an icon, next use reshacker, as mentioned above, to change the icon for the exe.
