+## Add icon of application
+1.  Create a `*.ico` file of whatever you want to use as a logo. I called mine `favicon.ico`.
+2.  Create a file named `yourapplication.rc`.
+3.  Add the following line to `yourapplication.rc`: `IDI_ICON1 ICON DISCARDABLE "favicon.ico"`.
+4.  Add the `*.rc` file to your buildsystem as a source file.
+5.  Make sure that your `*.exe` ships along side the `favicon.ico` file.
