Apologies to all. I didn't notice my cookie had crumbled, so GUEST at 01 Mar 03 - 06:42 PM was me.

The advice about putting all the icons in one folder dates back to Win 3.0, and was possibly of some use there, but I'm afraid it's in the "urban legend" category now. Since Windows puts all the icons it's using in the icon cache, it just doubles the "icon storage space" used on your machine to no good purpose.

In addition, many programs use "internal icons" that have the same .ico file extension, and if you move them out of the folder where the program "lives," the program may not run properly.
