MenuBuilder allows you to associate icons with MenuBuilder projects. This is especially useful when you export projects as EXE files. When you export a MenuBuilder project as an EXE file, MenuBuilder creates a fully executable file that your users can run simply by double-clicking it. Of course, users can double-click the filename (for example, projectname.exe ) to open the EXE file. However, if you associate an icon with the project and users place the file on their desktop, they can double-click the icon instead of the filename.
Note: You must use ICO files for MenuBuilder project icons.
There are two ways in which you can associate icons with projects. You can attach an icon to a project during initial project creation by using the MenuBuilder wizard, or you can attach an icon to a project by adjusting the project options.
To associate an icon with a project during initial project creation:
Create a project using
the MenuBuilder wizard. In the third wizard screen, click More
next to the CD Icon text box to select a project
icon. (Remember to use an ICO file.)
To associate an icon with an existing project:
Open the MenuBuilder project.
From the Options menu, select Project Options.
Click More
next to the CD Icon text box to select a project
icon. (Remember to use an ICO
file.)
Click Apply to view your changes without closing the dialog box, or click OK to accept changes and close the dialog box.
