Viewing Icons in X PHome SP2
Hi I have a folder full of icons that I use to distinguish folders/
shortcuts When I goto change an icon, I can no longer view the icon, the *.ico file, unless I open it in a picture viewer. It used to be that the *.ico files showed as a small view of the icon plus it's name. Now I just get what appears to be a " NotePad" icon and the name. Anyone know how to reset this function, please. -- Paul Woodsford Remove NOSPAM to reply.

Now sorted. Thanks, -- Paul Woodsford Remove NOSPAM to reply.
