How can I change the icon in the title bar of the Command Prompt ?

I modified Command Prompt Portable with NSIS and Batch files but now
the Command Prompt icon left in the title bar : http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/1217/bnol7.jpg
And I want an icon like that in the title bar: http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/618/niwi3.jpg
How can I change the icon in the title bar ?
(What codes, applications have I to use ?)
Problem resolved.

Yea

Quite open source. Go get the source form Other\Source\AppNamePortable.nsi and 'Compile' it with your new icon. Blum This is usually a saving problem with ResHack and others. You need to save it as newfile.exe. And I don't know if hacking the launchers works.

hacking the launchers

wont work.
They have a crc check so if you change something for example with res hack it gives you an error.

Built In

It's the Windows Command Prompt. It's built in. You can't change it.

Custom C

It's custom written in C and not supported by PortableApps.com (and illegally using Microsoft's notepad icon).

Well, they claimed they

Well, they claimed they found an icon that wasn't from Notepad but looked kind of like it, and had no other restrictions. I think they were making an effort. If you know for sure that the one they have violates Microsoft's rights, they'd probably be happy to look for another.

Notepad 2

Probably Notepad 2's icon. If you search the forums, you can find that Notepad 2 is made portable by Thibeaz.

Read above.

It's not Command Prompt Portable's icon, it's the command prompt itself.

Lol,

Well technically, yes it is. Blum

Just because you found it on the internet, and the colours are slightly different, doesn't mean it's not theres. Just as well, if someone created that one from scratch to look almost like MS's, they could still be infringing on MS's original design. Blum

We wouldn't talk on this

We wouldn't talk on this site about making a version of cmd.exe with the icon resources changed, and taking a copy of it with you to use on other computers. Even if it worked on all computers you came to, we would probably not want to seem to be advocating that sort of thing.
