I need to let the user know what state a certain property had the last time
the program was run.
Is there a way to have the application itself change the desktop icon used
to start the program.
I refer to the icon which was placed on the desktop by the install routine,
which I specified when setting up the install routine.
I would like to find some code to include in my main vb application which
would replace this icon with one of a different color, whenever a certain
property is true.

Joisey,

In my opinion is do you take for what you want to do a strange and difficult
approach. In my opinion is what you want to achieve normally done with the
registry which is easy to use in VBNet.

I hope this helps?

You can manipulate the shortcut (shell link) file and let it point to
another icon:
