- What I do is open the icon view of the directory the icon files are in.
- (From the 'Drives' folder) I click on an icon to bring up the ICON EDITOR
- for it. I Select All, and then Copy it. I close down that icon editor.
- Then, I bring up the icon editor for the object whose icon I wish to change.
- I Click 'paste' from the Edit menu, and voila, it gets changed. You save
- normally, and it is done.
-
- Yeah, it is cumbersome, but it works.

- I wih I knew. I wish I could just 'tell' the computer where is was!
