Look at either the Microangeleo:

or Axialis Iconworkshop:

products. Either should do what you need.

Hi

Thanks for that. How do I tell Authorware to use the icon that I create on my
file when it is distributed? ie so when the user has it on their desktop it
displays the icon I created not the Authorware one

When you create an executable using Authorware, embedded into that
executable are various resource, including the icons.

Typically after you publish the file (i.e., create the executable) you
then use one of those tools mentioned to edit its icon resources. With
this method you have to do this every time you create an executable.

I have heard that you can use those tools to change the Authorware
executable itself (found down in a sub directory of the program files
directory) and permanently change it's icons, thus all exe's that you
subsequently create with it. I have also heard that this is not recommended.

Uh huh! I understand now, so it's the icon program that changes the properties
of the finished exe file so when I distribute it, it has the new icon. I
thought the programs just created the icons and allowed you to change just the
icon on your own desktop, I didn't realize that information went when it was
distributed... I should have looked further into it.

thanks
