It is better then QIconChanger because it supports importing icon from exe files which QIconChanger dose not support
Anyone got a copy of PE Icon Changer? I can't access the site. Invite only.

Both Pe Icon Changer and Qicon Changer didn't work of a certain .ICO file with a large 256x256 image size. one of them or both would crash on random icon files with large sizes.

There's one drag n' drop exe icon changer I know of that works on icons both Qicon and PeIcon fail with. It's designed for Firefox and Thunderbird executables but it works with anything.

But in the end, I guess Resource Hacker would be the most reliable method to replace exe icons.

Topic update: FYI, I have recently had instances of PE Icon Changer repeatedly crashing with 256x icon sizes, whereas QIcon Changer worked breezily.

BTW, both program's homepages appear deceased.

Having now tested this Program Icon Changer (for Firefox & Thunderbird) in similar situations, I can confirm that it works as expected...
