How do I give my program an icon?

[realchamp]

I will try that, thank you so much!

But at 1.; Do I have to create a new .cpp file? And then in the solution explorer, I add the .rc file?

Or just create a blank .rc file with notepad and add 3. into it?

I don't use the "project" stuff.

I just use "New File" and then I set it to .cpp and then I start coding.
