This isn't exactly a big deal, but... After some programs are installed, their shortcuts get a generic program icon. If I try to change the icon via the properties method, the icon changes correctly in the properties window; however, after choosing ok or apply, I get "The name '...' specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct." and the icon returns to the generic one. These programs run fine, they just have a generic icon. Any ideas? Other than the constant blue screen I get when shutting down or rebooting (Windows error report confirms "this will be fixed in the final release..."), RC 1 work great. Thanks for any replies.

Perhaps I can answer my own question. It seems that you have to run the program from the location of the icon to get the default icon for that program to appear - If your shortcut is on the desktop, quick launch, and start menu, you have to launch the program from each of these short cuts to get the icon to change from the generic icon to the program's default icon.

I am of the impression - vista icons are in the png format or have to be compatible and any program with an associated icon that isn't able to be formatted as such gets chucked...........someone correct me if I'm wrong. The Secret Letter From Iraq
