Ok, well, this tutorial is going to teach you how to add a .ico picture to your program, which will make your program look really cool!

First off, you can either download a .ico image from another website, or make your own in Photoshop.

If you want to make one in photoshop, download and install this plugin.

Now, start off with a new document, size 32x32, design whatever you want, and save it as a .ico file, which can now be found on your filetype list!

Now, open C++ and open the Project you want to add the .ico image to.

On the top bar, go to Project>Project Options.

A window will pop up.

In the bottom left, click on "Browse", find the .ico file you made or downloaded earlier, and open it.

Hit OK.

Now, every time you compile, your .exe will have an icon!
