- The files for 1024x768 are called: "81tbar.bmp, 82tbar.bmp, 83tbar.bmp, and
- 84tbar.bmp."

- BTW - there is a W4W toolbar editor which allows you to design your own
- toolbar images and manages all the naming, win.ini munging, etc. It's
- called "tbedit" and is part of the WOPR shareware package (look for wopr*.zip)
- at ftp sites near you.
