I have written a simple batch file, xwin.bat, that sets up a few
parameters and then uses "run" to execute another program (Xwin.exe).
I have installed a shortcut to xwin.bat in my Quick Launch toolbar
and it works great. The only problem is that its icon in the QL
toolbar looks totally nondescript (in fact I already have one other
batch file installed on the QL toolbar that has the exact same
icon, even though it does something totally unrelated).

Xwin.exe, on the other has a pretty distinctive icon. How can I
assign this icon to xwin.bat?

I anticipate that there's a lot of commercial software to do this,
but since this is a 1-shot deal, I'd prefer to use a free tool if
possible.

Thanks!
