The Resource Compiler.

[moekkog]

but can you give me a mor detailed explanation on how to do it

[3DModelerMan]

I think it's the first .ico icon file that's added to the resource compiler. In code::blocks you can add to it with an add item button... Anything like that in MSVC?

[moekkog]

if any one is interested ill give you the steps
1 go to resource menu
2 add the icon
3 compile it

its kind of easy the complicated is the format of the icon does any body know how to implement a vista icon, i just could do it with xp, on vista icon it gave me an error about some SDK PAINT or something thanks 3DModelerMan

Put an icon file named irrlicht.ico in the same directory as your executable. The Irrlicht library will automatically load it for you.

that only change the icon in the upper part but not the exe icon

[grumpymonkey]

you could have an installer and just make a shortcut to the exe on the users desktop since you can change a shortcuts icon(right click)..not sure how you would go about doing that automatically, probably depends on the installer you use but its easier for the user.
of course, if you're trying NOT to use an installer, then you will probably have to mess around with your IDE until you find something like a resource manager or whatever. Just use Google to find out how to do it for your specific IDE since this Isn't really an Irrlicht related issue
