Application icon randomly changes, problem.

So I have this weird problem,

I wrote a program in Visual Studio 2010.

At first I configured it so the binary would have an icon, lets call it icon A. Then I changed the configuration again and changed the icon to icon B. The problem is that if I copy/move my binary to my desktop the binary shows icon A (the old icon).

I found somewhere that it could be a problem of the Windows Icon Cache so I tried renaming the binary. But if I rename my binary the icon changes to a smaller version of my icon and stays that way...no matter what kind of View I'm using in my windows explorer (large icons, small icons, etc).

I'm using Windows 8 x64.

Any input at all? Thank you!
