changing icon for a program

For instance, say I had a program, and I want its logo to be the logo for, say, Internet Explorer. How would I go about this?
Well, you could probably just edit the "small.ico" in the same folder as the program to look like IE's logo. I don't think that logo is in any of DLLs.
I presume you mean on Windows, right?

Windows PE32s (exe files) have an icon resource named MAIN_ICON that specifies the icon(s) to associate with the program.

When you compile a program, you can link in a resource that has the MAIN_ICON defined.

Or you can use Resource Hacker to add or change the exe's icon.

Hope this helps.
