Well, that's the question...
I am using VC++ 2008 Express. I have googled it with no help.

EDIT: I decided to look at the search in the forum.
I found the solution:

+ Code Snippet#define IDI_ICON 100



appname.rc
+ Code Snippet#include "resource.h"

IDI_ICON ICON "filename.ico"

You could also pack the icon into a resource file (.rc) using a resource editor like the free ResEdit. It's then compiled directly into the .exe file.
