Vista does not "see" icon in VB3 executable

[V Green]

Per the subject line.

Old VB3 prog. has icon embedded into .EXE
but Vista does not see it.

Worked fine through XP.

Not a real problem, I just used one from the presets,
but thought dev. team might like to know.

And to those of you who are considering a non-helpful
response along the lines of "why the he-- are you still using
VB3, you moron", please reconsider and just shut up.

I have my reasons (chief among them that I don't have the
time nor the inclination to try to port it as it's working perfectly
across ALL Windows platforms clear back to 3.1).

With all this being said by you, I don't think anyone cares what you do with
old technology, gee.

Maybe related to the way you cannot properly display an icon assigned to
a DOS .EXE file. It will always display as a white rectangle (I assume a
default document icon), no matter what icon you try to assign to it.
