Okay, the icon fix didn't really fix it, what it did was make the .exe have
the icon as the little picture for the shortcut, but it isn't really a
shortcut. Whatever. But, I went and ran it on another computer and this was
the error log it created right off the bat.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "The GUI.py", line 696, in <module>
  File "Tkinter.pyc", line 1515, in wm_iconbitmap
_tkinter.TclError: bitmap "C:\Documents and Settings\Alex\My
Documents\PYTHON\DictionaryApp\Windows.ico" not defined
