          How many new threads do you need to create? Ok, you obviously want to use your own icon, but you haven't actually made an icon yet. Here's what to do: * Right click on your resources in the resources view and select "Add resource..." * Select "Icon" from the list, and click the "New" button * This will take you to the icon editor, with a default 32x32 16 colour blank icon created for you. Draw in here, or paste in an image from Paintbrush, or anywhere else you can find an image * You'll probably want other sizes - from the Image menu select "new image type" and you can add a 16x16 small icon (for the titlebar / taskbar) or 256 colour icons (which look nicer if you're pasting in an existing image), or larger icons (if you want it to look nice in XP)

              Search the internet for a software called "Iconcool editor", it is my prefered choice. This software allows you to create multi sized icons, and is very easy to use. Just create your icon and import it into your resources.
