Can't update Application Icon

I just changed the application icon for my app. But the old application
icon still displays in the title bar of the main form, though. If I look at
the re-built app.exe in the Windows Explorer, though, it shows the new icon.
Also, I have a debug console window that comes up (it is opened by some
native code that gets loaded). The icon for the debug console is the new
icon!

I also deleted the actual .ico file from my workstation (well, replaced it
with the new file), so I can't figure how it is being used. I even tried
deleting .pf files from \Windows\PreFetch - no help.

I tried a clean rebuild of everything (not just Rebuild Solution - I
actually deleted the obj and bin directories).

Any clues? TIA.

Click to expand...

You'll have to assign the new icon to your form's 'Icon' property.
 
I have read about that.
while I can't remember the solution I know it's a cache issue on the
computer.
that means other user would see the right icon (well provided that's their
first install :()
 
Did that. That's how I got an icon in the first place.

I just changed the contents of the .ico file and rebuilt.
