        Replace the Desktop icons provided in the Windows executable program with matching icons provided by the user. Takes 2 arguments argument 0: the Windows executable e.g c:/eclipse/eclipse.exe argument 1: The .ico file to write to the given executable e.g. c:/myApp.ico Note 1. Write access to the executable program is required. As a result, that program must not be currently running or edited elsewhere. Note 2. The Eclipse 3.4 launcher requires an .ico file with the following 7 images (in any order). 1. 48x48, 32 bit (RGB / Alpha Channel) 2. 32x32, 32 bit (RGB / Alpha Channel) 3. 16x16, 32 bit (RGB / Alpha Channel) 4. 48x48, 8 bit (256 colors) 5. 32x32, 8 bit (256 colors) 6. 24x24, 8 bit (256 colors) 7. 16x16, 8 bit (256 colors) A user icon matching exactly the width/height/depth of an executable icon will be written to the executable and will replace that executable icon. If an executable icon does not match a user icon, it is silently left as is. Note 3. This function modifies the content of the executable program and may cause its corruption.
