Is this for an installed

Is this for an installed version, or for the icon that appears in the menu?

Installed:
Use the program Resource Hacker to open the 7zFM.exe, find the resource under ICONGROUP that contains the icon, and replace it with yours.

Portable:
Use a program like IcoFX to create the proper .ico file (48x48, 32x32, 16x16 in both true color and 256 color), save the file as appicon.ico in 7zipPortable/App/AppInfo, use NSIS Portable to recompile 7zipPortable.nsi from the 7zipPortable/Other/Source directory
