Icon won't stay changed!
in [Customize Windows]

From: Paul H on 18 Dec 2009 09:43 I use properties to change the icon on one of my desktop icons. It appears to accept the change, but when I go back to my desktop, the original icon appears - it ignores my attempted change. This is on my up-to-date XP on my new Acer netbook. TIA, Paul (I've posted this on multiple groups, because my original post on xp.general did not get any replies, but has watchers. Please "reply group", not just yours, so others can view.)
From: David B. on 18 Dec 2009 10:35 What icon, how did you change it? BTW keep the multi posting to relevant groups, there are at least 2 that are off topic for your post. -- -- "Paul H" <NoSpamphobergNoSpam(a)att.net> wrote in message news:eRFctB$fKHA.2188(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I use properties to change the icon on one of my desktop icons.

From: Paul H on 18 Dec 2009 11:48 I didn't know where to post, so I posted to all that seemed appropriate. I'll bet folks in every group may learn from the response that works. I've attached pictures that show my process. I tried to change the Woot icon to a star, and failed. Any ideas, anyone?

Crossposting is fine when done in moderation (not much moderation in this thread ...) but multiposting is always bad because it causes duplication of effort.

Correct, incorrect wording on my part. -- -- "Pegasus [MVP]" <news(a)microsoft.com> wrote in message news:%23zQ0$UAgKHA.5792(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > > > "David B." <mail(a)nomail.net> schrieb im Newsbeitrag > news:e7N#Df$fKHA.5608(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> What icon, how did you change it?
