for example after you make a .exe file with turing, it will show the turing logo as it's icon.

Is there a way to change this, for example I made a game and want to post it online, but I don't like the turing logo because it have nothing to do with the game.

same goes for turbo pascal it's icon sucks more, cause when i send the .exe to a friend he thought it's a virus because of the icon...

There are alot of topics on this in the turing section and they are easly found using search.

For example:

How do you think i found those posts?

My guess is you did not use "Search for all terms". You can also limit your search to a forum or category witch helps too.
