Jasper:

   The problem maybe because your icon only contains a 32x32
   icon. A real windows icon should contain a 16x16, 32x32
   and 48x48. This icon can also contain these 3 icons in
   in different pallete sizes. When windows displays an icon
   it selects the appropriate icon to display or tries to
   adjust the icon to fit the use. What maybe happening is that
   the bindw is only replacing the 32x32 icon and when windows
   selects the icon it uses one of the sizes that was not
   replaced ( the euphoria icon ). The way you can find out
   is to select an icon from some other windows program that
   you know works and try bindw-ing it to your program.
   
   Out on the web and you will find icon editors that will
   allow you to create icons that contain more than one size
   if this is your program.
