thats not possible

Of course that's possible. BYOB does that.

I think you didn't understand. Somewhere in the code, there is a method that creates the file in the filesystem and sets its icon to the Scratch cat. I want to know where that method is so I can change the icon to something else.

it is impossible without hacking scratch.

The picture will not be within scratch, if it's the picture that you're refering to at the start (in the picture) lol to many pictures XD, the picture will only be in the installer for scratch.

What do you mean by "the picture will only be in the installer for scratch"? I am modifying the source code provided by MIT, not the original Scratch.

Assuming you want to change the icon for a scratch project in windows explorer, it is set by the scratch installer.

I am basing this on the fact that the picture you gave us as an example shows this.

But I could be exploring the source code without installing Scratch. The source code is just an .image file which I am opening in a Squeak VM (which needn't be Scratch.exe, or in my case Scratch.app, since I am using Mac OS X).

If you haven't installed scratch using the installer, then you won't get the cat picture on projects.

if your talking about the icon that shows on the Scratch.exe file and in the top-left corner of Scratch, use Resource Hacker.
if you mean the icon on files you save in Scratch, windows automatically uses the icon for Scratch.

As I said above, the icon on the files you save in scratch, is set by the installer when you run it.

the installer changes the computers settings to make *.sb files open with scratch. windows shows the icon of the program that opens the file.

But the installer tells windows what icon to use for it, windows CAN decide on icons for programs, but in this case, the installer does it.

That could be true for .sb files. The point here is that I've modified the source code to create files with a different extension and they still show up the cat icon.
