The program "Microangelo" from Impact Software - (http://www.impactsoft.com) will enable you to find a programs icons (even those "hidden" in *.exe files and alter them to whatever colour or shape you want. It is a shareware program and I think it costs around $US60.00 for the registered version. You can download a 30-day "evaluation" version from Impact's site although I do not know what restrictions/limitations are built in to this version. It is also a regular appearer on magazine cover CDs - it runs to about 2Meg in size so installing it from a CD is much quicker than downloading it, helps keep down the caffiene intake too!! Not exactly a cheap way out but I hope the information is of some help to those with a problem in this area. Regards to all Alan Plato
