I've had a look there Will, and though it looks quite useful (thanks, I'm bookmarking that one) it doesn't appear to cover the icon question.

Devesh, have you tried setting the icon on the Make tab when compiling your ActiveX? (I haven't done this, but it seems worth a try.)

I've been telling you for years to replace that monocle :)
Create a 16x15 bitmap (using Microsoft paint) that has some kind of descriptive image (you can just compose it by writing the letters HW). From the HelloWorld UserControl properties, point the ToolboxBitmap to that bitmap. It will eventually appear in the Toolbox on the left (rather than the generic toolbox control image, shown greyed out on the bottom of the left pane below).

Oh nuts!

I was looking for icons, not "toolboxbitmaps". :(
