type in vbc, space, and drag in the exe onto the command prompt.
then another space, and then /out: then put in i new temp name, then another space,
then type in /%win32icon: then drag in the icon, and hit enter.

I'll help then.
1) Go to properties.
2) Click on the combo box and hit browse.
3) Select your .ico file.

Resource hacker (a tool) lets you change icons, etc...
If you're too big of a tool to use VC build-in features, why not take the harder way and use RH?

THREAD CLOSED .. ?
There are many ways you can do it, you can go to projects and do it from there. Also you can click the close then save it and it'll be saved by default in Visual basic > Projects > Name > Obj > Debug
Then you go click properties and change the icon from there, Also it's a .exe when it's saved there.

Problem why it changed back is because your icon cache didn't refresh so your OS decided to use the old icon.
