I have created a Call Log Dialog and I have added an Icon to help make the application more noticeable to fellow coworkers.
My icon is in the .rc file as:
IDI_CABINET ICON "cabinet.ico"
and I load the icon with:
m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_CABINET);
and set with:
SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);
When I build a Release Version and find the the .exe file for my application the icon appears just as I want it; however, when I create a desktop shortcut the image defaults to some windows application icon. If I click on the shortcut it opens and runs the program without issue. Is there something else I need to declare inside the program to change the icon for shortcuts as well? This also does not correctly appear when the application is sent to the taskbar.
*Edit I am using Windows 7 in case that matters.
