I have icons filed in a subfolder and when I click on any
one of them I am asked what program I want to use to open it. Can someone tell me what program I should use? |

Normally, you wouldn't use any application to open an icon file.
If you have not installed an icon editor, then you would not have or need an application to open them. Why are you trying to "open" an icon file? ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.windowsme.new-user, "Biz" wrote: I have icons filed in a subfolder and when I click on any one of them I am asked what program I want to use to open it.

I have downloaded icons so that I may change the
appearance of some of my folders. Pc keeps asking what I want to open them with. Can this be corrected? I'm pretty new at this so much goes over my head if not explained as if to a two year old! -----Original Message----- Normally, you wouldn't use any application to open an icon file.

There is nothing to correct. They do not need to be opened.
Your PC will not ask you if you refrain from trying to open then. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.windowsme.new-user, wrote: I have downloaded icons so that I may change the appearance of some of my folders.

You can see what it is by looking at it.
Set your view in Explorer to Large Icons.

You can email me if you like. My email is valid.
Don't give up yet as there seems to be something I am missing. Don't you see an icon's picture or representation in an Explorer or My Computer windows? If not, what does the icon look like? ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.windowsme.new-user, wrote: Alan, I'm attempting to reply via Email.

An icon file is simply a graphical represenation on the
screen. I presume you have downloaded the icons so you can make some of your 'shortcuts' look different. 1) Place the icon files in a central location (ie: my documents\icons) 2) Right click one of the shortcuts you want to change and select properties. 3) You will find a button in there that says Change Icon. 4) Browse to the icon folder you made and selct the pic you want. ** Some Operating Systems will let you choose custom system icons when you open the Desktop Properties and poke around in there. good Luck. -----Original Message----- You can email me if you like.
