I'm going to assume that you found on icon that you want to use for a shortcut to an application. Copy the icon to the root of your C:\ drive. Then, right click on your current shortcut,select Properties, and under the Shortcut tab (Win98) select Change Icon. Browse to your C: drive where you copied the icon you want to use, select it and click Open, then Apply. If you don't already have a shortcut just right click on the executable and select Create Shortcut and follow the above instructions.

I agree with the above answer, except I would not put it at the root of C. I have a directory called "icons" off my C drive, which I use for this purpose.

Just a thought -- makes them easier to find ;-)

So, I suppose I'm a fucking psychic? Do a search for Snag It. Use that program to get your icon. It's not free.
