Back to Batch!

[zzzreyes]

well I have become a Batch Master... Thanks to my mentor OurPatienT!
now one more problem...
since I have gone nuts and created around 15 diff batch files on my desktop...(super happy and proud of em!!!)
how do I change the ICON... hold on, I know how to change the target ICON, but that still only creates a shortcut.
I want to b able to create my own icon, or use the one that is most suitable for the functionality of the file. Also I want the bat file to keep it permanently.
For example if tomorrow I become generouse and want to share this bat file, the icon pic will remain the same in other computers.

hehe, mentor, I'm honored. But you may have stumped me with this one. I don't know that there is any way to do it. Windoze assigns general icons by extention unless the file has it's own icon encoded within it. And since bat files are just text files, I don't think there's anyway to embed an icon in them.

Now, I know there are utilities that will compile your .bat files into .com files. You can no longer edit the files once compiled but, maybe there's a way to embed an icon in them at that point. I really have no idea. If I dig up anything I'll let ya know.
