I was messing around and discovered that minecraft.exe is actually an archive file that can be opened with 7zip (or the file compression app of your choice). I found this file in there called favicon.png, which appears to be the image file used on the taskbar.
I can edit all the other image resources using ResHack, but I can't seem to replace the favicon.png image file. 7zip won't let you delete or replace it (nor will WinRAR), and if you unzip it, replace the file, and rezip it the .exe doesn't work any longer.
So, any tech savvy guys know how this might be done? It's not critical or anything, just wondering if it's something that a novice could do.

You can change the image of a shortcut or .exe, by right clicking the shortcut, and selecting "properties" then navigate to "Change icon". You can click on any .exe in this icon browser, and it will show you a variety of icons associated with the .exe you chose.
I believe you can also make a .png, and rename the extension to .ico (for icon)
If only it were that easy! I'm running Windows 7 and there is no "Change Icon" option when right clicking on Minecraft.exe. So, I'm looking for a way to do it manually now.
