If you used the IDEs for eg. VB or VC++ you could change the properties for the program-icon easily. THAT's what I wanted to say
the question still remains: How and using what did you write the app?
As said previously.. The Messenger I've created (well it's at a beta stage anyway) for my new site is created from a couple of well known and well used web-based technologies... mixed with a bit of imagination and raw talent

so you didn't use any application for that? It just appeared from thin air summoned by the power of your genius?
I'm just curious because (as Fredix already mentioned) usually you can choose the icon used at compile time. Building the app and then changing the icon resource afterwars is ..hmm... a bit strange, to say the least

Hehe... it works using good 'ol PHP, MySQL, and Flash

Nothing special really.
Flash is obviously used as the main front-end of the messenger but all of the 'behind the scenes' stuff is handled by PHP.
What's cool about the new version of Flash (MX) is that you can have real-time webcam streaming in the actual Flash movie as well, so as well as chatting you can see who you are chatting to... it's all good.

No, You can't use custom icon for Flash MX generated EXE's...
That's why I use resource hacker to change it's default icon for my CD presentations.
