I want to change a few shtct icons on dktp. The 2 CD drives i cant change. when i click Properties>Change Icon i choose one and it changes in the top corner under General tab, but when i click Apply i get 'Problem with Shortcut' "The name 'E:\' specified in Target box not valid etc The same with other drive. Do i need the full path in the Target box in order to Change Icon? Target Type in both drives is shown as CD Drive. 'D' is my DVD, 'E' is the CDRW. only these two i cant seem to change on dktp. tx
