The question was "how to change the default icon".

The REAL answer is YOU CANNOT.

The answer I gave shows the work arounds that let you do this.

?  Use Ant.  Write an Ant task that does this.  Set up the Ant task to 
run subsequently to the packaging stage.  Done.

Who exactly do you think are "my customers"?  I don't work for Borland. 
   Nor do any of TeamB.  These newsgroups are peer supported.  Borland 
employees are not required to read or answer questions in these groups.

If you want Borland to do something about this issue, complaining in the 
newsgroups is about as effective as whistling in the wind.  Use the 
official channels Borland provides if you want Borland to address this 
issue:

1.  Support incidents
2.  Quality Central
