In the past, VB allowed an app to have only one icon. However, resource files expose any contained icons to Windows. Simply add the icons you wish to show to a RES file and add the RES file to your project. Then compile the app, make a shortcut to it, and open the Shortcut tab under the Properties window with a right click and select Properties. Press the Change Icon button and voila!-all the icons are there to choose from.
