    Hello everyone, I just wanted to ask, how can you have a different icon from the windows task-bar one and the one that appears on the form, for example (see graphic/link below): Click for picture. I couldn't found out which topic to post it in, because I do not know which programming language(s), do this. Thats why I posted it here because it is design and architecture for programs. So what programming languages do this, answers will be fully appreciated. Regards, Brandon T. H.

        You can set your application icon under properties - application tab - resources - icon in visual studio, and this determines the icon for your application on the desktop and the task bar. You can further set a different icon for each separate window in your application, which determines the icon displayed in that window's title bar.

              The only way I know of is to use two windows. An invisible main window (the icon of which is shown in the taskbar) and your second window becomes the main window for the user.
