- That is an image that is not an icon? That's a big problem... All I know is
- that each program that opens an appicon uses the GetDiskObject() function of
- icon.library to allocate a diskobject (that is an icon). Maybe patching this
- function...

-
- You have to make some system patch... maybe to the function that creates
- appicons...
