Using a Custom System Tray Icon?

[Curt]

Is there any freeware that will allow you to select the icon to be
displayed in the system tray for a specific app? More specifically, I'm
looking to change the icon for the OpenVPN client (http://openvpn.se/)
so I can use a company logo (always impresses the suits).

The icon is integral to the exe. To change it, you need to use a
resource editor such as resource hacker.

From what I can tell after just trying it, Resource Hacker only allows
you to change the icon of the installation file itself, not the icons
that show in the system tray after installation.

Any other way to do this?

My bad - it looks like this will work just fine. I was opening the
installation file rather than the executable after installing it.

Thanks!
