if you've got XP...


right click on icon, click properties, then go to the second tab called "shortcut" and there should be a button that says "change icon".

I don't know about win 98 though.

it needs to be a valid icon file. Do you have an image editing software?

basically, you need to find some sort of editing program to convert the jpg/gif picture into an icon image format.

I think photoshop is capable of this, but I'm not 100% positive.
