Finishing a project (adding icons)

[rewclaus]

ok, so I finished a project and made an exe file from all my code. However, I cant change the icon of my new exe file. Can anyone help me on this?

Is this a console program or a windows program? If it is a Windows program, you can set it when you do the initial class or by sending a WM_SETICON message. See

The icons can be added to the resources - they normally have an IDI_ prefix. If it is a console program, you can set it in the shortcut.

well I guess I am a little lost. I do not really know the difference between a console program or a windows program. Also that link...I don't really understand it. where do I put that stuff? Directly in my C code?

Have a look at your link line. Does it say /subsystem:console or /subsystem:windows.

A console program appears in a cmd window.
