Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
There is no icon included in the Windows .exe file, this means than any file I associate with the application (e.g. txt files) adopt the default Windows "executable" icon. This makes every editable text file look like an executable at first glance. There is no easy way to edit the icon of an exe file on Windows, so it'd be nice if it was included by default.
