You need an imaging program that will display the .ico file type. I
recommend getting the free IrfanView program. It is very easy to use and
very powerful.

Linda;

What happens when you double click an *.ico file??

Windows Picture and Fax viewer will open *.ico files.
Right click an *.ico file | Preview.
Internet Explorer will open them also.
Open IE | File | Open | Use the Browse button to navigate
to your *.ico file location(s)
