Changing Icons in Vista..

[Ted Gervais]

I notice that when I try and change an icon to something better than just
the Windows version of what it thinks an icon should have for a picture,
that I can't make the change. I click on a new picture and save it, and no
sir.... that windows picture remains.

Whats there fix for this, if there is one...??

I've found I had the same problem only with certain icons. Just pick
another, and another, until you find one that will "stick". Even then,
sometimes they just disappear and revert back to the original one like when
there's a power outage or something. Another "fluke" of Vista, albeit a
rather 'minor' one. There are much 'huger' issues with this stinky OS. I
really hate that if you bought a new PC you get stuck with this lousy, lousy
program. I'm really disgusted with the hours & hours I've spent trying to
fix things that are probably unfixable. It seems there is an impact on every
other program that's loaded, including Norton. Excuse me while I
vent....Good luck to you.

Yes!!! That is what I was trying to describe. I think we have all seen
this. It is a simple problem that probably can't be fixed. I don't know.
But I am glad you came along and described the problem better than I did.

Thanks again, and perhaps this further explanation might help others as
well..
