[dba-VB] Changing Application Icon in Title Bar and Task Bar

Dear List 
I have come to the conclusion it is not designed to cope with this situation, unless anyone else can shed some light here?
Kind Regards
David

  Dear List Members
  As the title says I am having great difficulty getting a 'little' icon to change in the application title and task bar depending on the state of the app.
  It works fine in VB5, but when run as the exe it gets a black halo around, on first and subsequent change. (!) The behaviour may vary in W2K and XP.  The icons being used a have transparent backgrounds.  I have tried 16 bit and 256Bit colours as there was a suggestion NT series OS only cope with 256 colour icons properly.
  Any suggestions or experience with this would be welcomed!
  Regards
  David
