# Associating icons with MenuBuilder projects

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:

1. Open the MenuBuilder project.

2. From the Options menu, select Project Options.

3. Click More next to the CD Icon text box to select a project icon. (Remember to use an ICO file.)

4. Click Apply to view your changes without closing the dialog box, or click OK to accept changes and close the dialog box.
