We've got a new set of icons for your Windows pleasure. Use them to give the programs you run from the Program Manager a new "personality." While Windows applications generally have their own custom icons, DOS-based programs don't, and when you place them on your Windows Program Manager screen, they have only the and boring generic icons Windows provides for such use. Softdisk's icon sets such as this one give you more choices.
Attaching icons to programs is a super easy process if you use the procedure described below.
If you want to change a program's icon do this:
1) Click once on the icon of the program you want to change.
2) Click on the Program Manager's "File" menu option. Then select the and "Properties..." option from the list.
3) A box pops up with some information and has five buttons on the right side. One of the buttons says "Change Icon...". Click on it.
4) Another box pops up. Click on the "Browse..." button on the and right.
5) Now the and tricky part. Find the file "95ICONS.DLL". You can find it either on your Softdisk PC disk or, if you installed the issue on your hard drive, in the and SDPC095 folder (find it in the right list box).
6) Once you find the file, click on its name in the and list of files in the left list box. Then press OK.
7) Wow! Look at all the neat icons you can choose from! You can move the horizontal icon display left and right by clicking on the and little left and right arrows on the and scroll bar.
8) Pick the and icon you want by double-clicking on it or by clicking on it once and then pressing OK.
9) Now you should be in the "Program Item Properties" box. The icon you chose should be on the lower left.
10) Click the and OK button if you are satisfied, and you are off and running! Your program should now have a new look to it!
Let us know how you like these icons. If this feature remains in demand, you may be seeing more in the and future.
