Since I have Windows 8 I did the shutdown for my machine with custom icon.



It produces the dialog shown

MilesAhead:
Lovely! Works just how I need it.  :up: I have also compiled it to get a executable file. Now figuring out a way to change the icon from the default letter "H"  :-\

After installing right click the script in Explorer and click Compile With Options.  You can set version info as well as set a custom icon.  I usually check the box "store settings in script" to avoid getting an .ini file with settings for each script.

Nzyme:
If the icon is a shortcut icon, then right click -> properties has the option to change the icon. However, a standalone executable does not. Is there another simpler way to change the icon?

No you need to recompile using that ahkII.  Once it is installed right click on a file with ,ahk extension(your script source) and click Compile with Options. A tab there has a check box and browse button to include the icon as the program's icon as a resource in the exe.

Nzyme:
I could not see the menu option "Compile with options" after right clicking the ahk script file. However, I managed to go to the program folder and run ahk2exe and select it there. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help on this...
