Yep. They are created when an AOL viewer has their graphics compressed. To
change that, go to my aol > preferences > WWW > click the tab that says web
graphics and click to clear the check box that says "use compressed
graphics." There is a version of MSIE that can view these outside of AOL, but
anyone else sees broken icon images.
Check out the Building Home Pages Q&A board on AOL. I get lots of help there
for geting past AOL's quirks.
