Shortcut icon inside a cab file

Question

How do I place the shortcut icon in the cab file? Can anyone shed some light on this? I searched online and found no info about this at all, except a claim that the icon used in the smart device project is automatically pulled into a cab. Well, it isn't so. It got pulled in once and after that when i CHANGED the icon it still shows an old one.

Any clues?

The shortcut icon is the icon from the application itself, so you don't "add" one. Bear in mind that WinMo/Pocket PC caches that icon for the Start menu, so if your app had a different icon to begin with, then you'll probably have to soft-reset the device to get the start menu to pick up the new icon.
