Re: Icons
Yup, I saw the "images" link on Google. But Windows will not accept those
images as icons, which have a different extension. So, I can't use the images
as the icon for my main folder. But I did find one doing a regular Google
search for "icons" and then searching the various collections. Not the best
elephant I've seen, but it works for now.

Thanks again.
