- You could try getting SHOWINI or INIEDIT to edit out the extraneous
- parts of your file. I'm beginning to think that DOS icons that you
- assign to programs are stored in the *.INI files and not the EA's as
- I thought. One of my DOS programs has NO EAs, but I assigned an icon
- to it. Anyone know where the icon is stored? Thanks.
