Hello all,
Is there a simple way to change the icon for the VM that is displayed while running?
This is for deployment, with a renamed VM and ini file specifying the image.
I thought there might me an ini setting to specify it, but I didn't see it on the wiki page dealing with the .ini file on windows...
Any ideas?
Brian
Use your favourite Windows resource editor to change the icons:

Thanks Andreas!
That worked like a charm... using the 3rd link from first search :)
One other question, if you don't mind... is there a way to specify headless in the .ini file, or is that only command line?

This is where I think RISC OS got something very much more right than any other OS that I have come across. Applications are simply directories whose name begins with a ! and that contain a few conventionally named files. You get a !boot file to tell the OS about mapping filetypes to actions and setup icons, a !boot file which is rather like the old DOS .bat files, !RunImage is the default executable, !Help can be text, html or whatever and is opened if theuser chosses 'help' from the filer window menu. The nice thing is that you can have anything vaguely plausible stuck underneath that. No nasty Windows Registy To Bind Them All To Hell. Delete the application directory and everything is gone, no messing around with complex installation and removal.
OSX has application bundles which appear to be a sort of copy of the idea with typical Apple make-it-tricky twists.
