- When you go to the General page of the settings notebook, click on 'Find',
- not 'Edit'. When the 'Find' dialog comes up, click on 'Locate' up at the
- top. Now, if your icon archive subdir is currently open, select it on
- the current page titled 'Opened' and then 'OK'. If not currently open,
- select either the 'Drives' or 'Path' page. If you selected the 'Drives'
- page, select the subdir that contains your icons. If you selected the
- 'Path' subdir, type in the path to the icon's subdir; ie.,
- 'c:\mystuff\icons'. Now select 'OK'. Now select 'Find'. Choose
- the icon from the list (this may take a while if you have a lot of
- icons). Select 'OK'. You now have a new icon for your file.
