    The icon doesn't have to be a .ico, it can also be a .dll, .exe (it's recommended to use the main .exe of the program, they usually have great built-in icons) or (I think) some other format that can store icons (definitely not archives). I think this picks the first valid 16px (the context menu icons are (and will be resized to) all 16px (16x16) so consider that when drawing) icon to display. Thanks for the help, anyways! My creation is attached.

    @klepp0906:

    Locate the entry in the registry and delete the "Icon" value from the key. Should be simple enough. (Note: only works for manually added entries, so probably not enough. If you managed to locate the entry and it has the Icon value defined, then delete it. Or you may delete the entry entirely in favor of a custom one.)

    How would you add icons for the existing CUT COPY PASTE right click menu items?
