Sublime Text 2 - Changing the icon on Windows

Question

As the title says, how do you change Sublime Text 2 default icon on Windows(7 or 8)?

I've searched everywhere. I found the post by Jeffrey Way on Nettuts that explains how to change it on the Mac and it was as simple as putting the 'nameoftheicon.icns' file somewhere in the default folder.

Now I have two problems:

1) I can't find the folder where the icns file should be put in 2) on Git(or somewhere else) when I find the repo of an icon the things to do in order to change it, even on the Mac, are way longer than Jeff's post

I wish the Windows folder was specified in that post to but it isn't(as you know he works on Mac).

So basically what's the fastest way to change the icon, maybe just by putting the icns files somewhere and avoiding the download of external software(as some Git repos suggests)?

Answer 1

There is no way of changing the icon on Windows without editing either the sublime_text.exe file or one of the libraries with an external program. It's just one of the many, many differences between Windows and Mac. .icns files are specific for the Mac platform, and don't exist in the Windows versions of Sublime Text.
