RE: Icon Insanity (OT??)

I found you can restore your tray and taskbar icons by right clicking on the
taskbar, pick properties, click the start menu programs tab and clear the
documents menu.  I don't know why they get changed either but this seems to
work.

I think the .inf extension is a protected file type and that's why you can't
change its icon (unless of course you change ALL .inf file icons).

Paul,

Yep, same thing happens here with my Norton recycle bin icon, but since it
doesn't appear to affect anything, I just ignore it...it goes back to the
right one in it's own sweet time. :)  I'm running Win98 also...never did it
with 95 that I can recall.
