Hi ryanh,

Welcome to Microsoft Managed Newsgroup!

Generally follow the steps described in at this document (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/339stzf7.aspx), the icon should
display correctly in the explorer.

Which operating system are you using? If use another icon file for the
application, does it still have the problem?
