Yes, I believe it's now called "IconFactory" (or some such); you need it to
be able to edit the application and document icon *inside an already built
standalone*. If you already have the .ico files for the app and document,
you should be able to assign them in the Distribution Builder *before you
build the standalone*. What exactly is happening? Do you believe you have
all the registry settings in place along with the icons and its *still* not
showing up, or can you let us know what's not working?
