Oh,as I found now,the exefile has no resources to replace,as ResourceTuner said. Maybe it is not so good soft to do that. But usualy this way you can change anything,including bitmaps,texts,menus etc. My opinion is also,when you change icon as resource,the program icon should be the same. Strange...

Windows caches icons for apps so that it does not need to reread the icons for all the files at every startup. Once a file has an icon in the cache Windows doesn't seem to want to reread it. You can delete the icon cache and Windows will then rebuild it. Google for "Windows icon cache", there's a lot about it out there.

To clear the icon cache in XP make sure you can view hidden files and then open your Windows directory in Explorer and delete the file called "ShellIconCache".

In Vista each user has his own icon cache. To clear the icon cache in Vista make sure you can view hidden files and then open the "local " folder in your user folder \Users\USERPRNAME\AppData\Local and delete the file called "IconCache.db".
