Assigning Icon to startup file

[AW]

I hope that this is the right place to pose this question.

I'm a newcomer to VB.net and have not been able to work out how to assign an
icon to the projects
start up folder when compiling the project for distribution.

Please can any one point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Select the file system view. Select the "User's Start Menu" Add a folder if
you need to. Then right-click on the right pane and select "Create new
shortcut". Specify what the shortcut points to (your EXE or folder or
whatever). You'll have to add in ICO file to your project, but once you do
you can edit the shortcut's properties to assign the icon to it.

Thanks for the reply. Does the ICI file have to be any particular size?

Size as in bytes? No. Size as in dimensions? It should contain 16x16 and
32x32 images at whatever color depth you want (usually 16bpp). It depends on
what your target OS is. In general those two will work across all versions
of Windows.
