Default Can't change the icon on an .exe file

I'd like to change the icon on a .exe file on my desktop, but there is no
"Change Icon" button when I go into the Properties of the icon for this type
of file. How do I change the icon on a .exe file?

Hello Stu,

You will need to create a shorcut from the EXE file first, then you
should be able to change the icon of the shortcut instead.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
