You can't. That icon is embedded in the .exe file. There are programs that actually do that sort of customizing (microangelo, if I remember correctly), but that means changing the .exe file, and that is a BIG no-no. Copyright, corrupting and such.

I say what I see. If you find my words offensive, then you find my reality offensive.
