Unable to set program icon

[yeah1000]

Hi, i have a problem with program icons. When i select a new icon for the program from application properties, build solution, copy the exe (with correct icon) to desktop, then the icon changes. I have other self-made programs on desktop as well, and the icon of the new program will become the same as the others when i copy it to my desktop. Why? Using Visual C# 2008 Express Edition, Vista When i right click the exe, then in the properties it shows the correct icon. Ty

The icon you set needs to contain icons in all the different possible sizes, or it will only be used for the sizes you provide.

It contains all of the sizes. It works correctly on other computers where there are none of my other programs with custom icons. As a matter of fact, it works correctly in all folders where there are no other programs of mine with custom icons.

Are you setting it on the Application tab of the Properties page of the project?
