Resource Hacker is the exact tool you would need for this. What happens when you do try and change the icon this way?

You can email me the .exe and I'll change it for you, if you like.

Just a thought...instead of having the executable on the desktop, why not just create a shortcut to it? Then, all you need do is go into the Properties of the shortcut and select the "Change Icon" button and select the icon you want..

OK that's extremely sneaky, Evilmaiden. "i_bpk2003" is blatantly Perfect Keylogger by BlazingTools.com! So, you want to infect your friend's PC with a keylogger and then have what they type sent back to you!

Unless you tell them that it's a keylogging app, it is technically illegal. But then again, that would sorta ruin the "surprise" for them I guess.

Nevertheless, send me the file and I'll be willing to help out! (Yes, after all that moaning... :P)

I think the post should be pulled and anyone that offered to help them steal their friends passwords and credit card info should be banned also. What is this world coming to? Do we have nothing better to do that attack our "FREINDS". I thought friend ment that we liked the person? I surely would never do that to someone I liked. Think about this guys, do you really want to help this jerk with his "identity theft scheme"?
