Distribute an Icon - RealWorld forums

How can I package a Windows XP Icon that links to a website... so that I can distribute it to other people and allow them to just add it to their desktop and not have to configure anything.

Thanks.

You can use this shortcut creator: http://www.rw-designer.com/make-shortcut-icon.
Though the created shortcuts seem to currently have problems with Vista. Uhm, the icon does not show up.

knowing I can change the icon of a shortcut, is it possible to change the icon of a file? Say a pdf file? And is it then possible to distribute that file to others with my own con attached to it?
