Exe Icon Changer 7.1216

There are situations in which you may want to change the icon of an application or installation kit, either because you get bored of the same dull icon or to differentiate an application from another, in case there are many of them installed on the computer. Normally, this is not possible, because the Windows operating system only allows changing the icons of shortcuts and not EXE files. That's why the only solution left would be to use 3rd party applications for customizing icons. One of these programs is Exe Icon Changer.

This simple Windows application can change the icon of any executable file with a new one, which can be imported from a wide range of file formats. But Exe Icon Changer can also change the icon of DLL, OCX and SCR files as well. The graphical interface of the program is highly intuitive and clearly shows the program's functionality, without requiring consulting the help file before using the program. The user just needs to select the input and output file. The input file can be an image or an icon file stored anywhere on the hard disk. When importing an image file, the user can select the number of colors for the image and also the size of the icon.

Exe Icon Changer is compatible with any kind of Windows icon, even with the larger Windows 7 icons. After selecting the input icon or image file, the user just needs to point to the desired EXE file that needs to have its icon changed. The program can change the icon of virtually any EXE file, even installation kits. After selecting the input and output file, the user can change the icon using a single click. Alternatively, he can save the input image as a regular icon file, for using it in other compatible applications.

Pros:
It can change the icon of any kind of EXE file, even installation kits. Besides that, it supports all icon sizes, even the largest Windows 7 icons. Furthermore, it allows selecting the number of colors for an input image file. What's more, an input image file can be saved as a regular icon file.

Cons:
The program cannot change the icon of more EXE files at the same time.

Exe Icon Changer is the right software for changing and customizing the icon of any kind of EXE file.
