perhaps I should clarify! If I set the icon size to medium icons or large
icons, instead of seeing the 255x256 pixel image resized to the current view
size, I see one somewhat random but consistent image from the icon (sometimes
a little dinky one) with a border around it like it was a png. Icon images
should not have a border around them at all. If I put it on small icons view
I should see the icon 16x16 image, but instead I see some sort of default
icon image. This ONLY applies to the *.ico filetype, all other filetypes are
working just as expected. I am trying to fix an unexpected side-effect of
reassociating the default program to edit *.ico files with. Sorry if I wasn't
clear about this before!
