The icon for a running application is set when the main window is registered.
In order to set this, as a programmer, you must put the handle to that icon
in the proper field of the window registration structure.  In order to do this
dynamically you might be able to run a windows program that will search for
your window (e.g. by the caption text) and use the SetWindowWord function to
reset the icon handle.
