On aim, how do you change your buddy icon to an icon you made, not a default?

Look in Edit preferences, Expressions.  Click browse your PC and find what u want.  I think it has to be like 48x48 pixels.  Mine is my cat's face.

For IE use View -> ToolBars\nThen for selection click on any option that is available except "Customize".  Selected toolbars preceeded by "right" mark.  Or else right click on toolbar then you will find the same.\n\nBut the "Customize" is used to change the currently displaying icons on toolbars (you can customize these toolbar icons)

you can open up the default icon and just edit it (in MFC), or add a new icon and link it to your program. the first method is the easiest though. off the top of my head, i couldnt tell you exactly how though.

First of all, with AIM there is an eyeball looking thing above your buddy list. Is it opened or closed? If it's closed that makes you invisible. Check your preferences or options. maybe something is set to not show when you're on.

While you can change the icons for various file types using Windows Explorer as MoreAcidThanAlkaline noted (and you can browse for other files containing icon resources), you can also change the icons in existing executables to your own custom icons (or create your own resource DLLs).\n\nTypically, the icons for the operating system shell and for various applications are stored as "embedded resources" either in the application (.EXE) itself or inside of a dynamic link library (.DLL).  Note that DLLs may also have different extensions.\n\nUsing a "resource editor" (I've included the link to one called 'Resource Hacker' below), you can modify the resources embedded in these files.  Note that resources can be binary data, images (such as icons), dialogs or even text strings, that are used for user interface messages.\n\nThe Win32 API (which resource editor programs use) allows for a developer to create their own applications that can modify these resources.\n\nWhen you have a resource editor, look at some of the files in your &#92;Windows&#92;System32 folder.  USER32.DLL is one dynamic link library that has embedded icons.

Ready?   Start - Settings - Control Panel. Click on the Tools tab on the top toolbar - select Folder Options. Click on the File Types tab. Click on file type you wish to change icon for so it is highlighted. Now click on the Advanced button near the bottom. There will be a change icon button right next to the highlighted file type you just selected. select new icon or search for another then click OK.

Is this the AIM you download from the AIM website? If it is try ichat, i use that and i like it better, but you could always reinstall AIM, or just download it again and install it, but delete the other one first.

If you are using a genuine Windows XP product, look for Photo Story on the Microsoft Website.\n\nAs for AIM stuff, I can't help you with that. It's not as easy as you think. You're dealing with editing the interface of  AIM.\n\nGood Luck

Go to the start menu and look for the program group and run it, if you want it on your desktop then instead of left-clicking on the program, right-click it and select send-to desktop and it will make a nice icon for you there to use.

On XP, right click on the icon and go to the program tab.  There will be a button for changing the icon.  On other operating systems, just right click on the icon and search through the tabs until you find that change icon button (I have XP, so I'm not exactly sure about other operating systems).

Open Windows Paint (Bitmap editor), draw your icon (how do you like it to look like ). Save it as BMP, then rename in to *.ico.\n...It worked for me ( at least whean i had win 98 ) .. but it's worth trying....
