Make an icon, save is as .ico, save into your graphics folder, open client in VB6, go to project properties I believe, then change the frmMain icon and frmMenu icon to the icon in your graphics folder.

I can find the place to edit the icon in properties but there is no way ti important a new one, it just has a drop down menu.
