Settings - Shortcut Icon

Short Cut Icon FileShort Cut Icon File (Optional)
This is the file containing the icon you want to use on your shortcuts.  Note that this file must either be on a drive or UNC share accessible to all users or placed in the server folder to be copied down to the target folder. 

You can also use environment variables in the shortcut icon file setting.  These must have %s around them.  These are the same variables you can see when you run the SET command in the command prompt window.  Examples are %appdata% or %userprofile%

The ideal network location would be in the same folder as this utility.  

The Shell32.dll file in your Windows\System32 folder has many icons for use. I would suggest copying that file into the Auto FE Updater folder and referencing it as it's quite possible Microsoft may change the icons in different operating systems. 

The following paragraph is wrong as I hadn't fully thought things through if the user is new to your app and the Auto FE Updater is running for the first time.  I will fix this problem soon.  2010-08-31.

Or place it in your FE Server folder so it's copied down to the workstation and reference the shortcut icon file with the same path as your target folder.  For example %appdata%\Granite Fleet Mgr\<name of icon file>

Resource ID
This is selected by clicking on the icon of choice.  You must do this even if the icon file has only one icon.
