There are two pop ups when I hit 'properties' on an icon. When the 'change
icon' tab is in the middle I have no problem. But when the first screen that
comes up has the 'change icon' on the right side ... when I try to change the
icon it won't change, it only flickers and stays the same.
Is it possible I chose 'Use windows icons' at some time in the past when I
was first setting up my Vista? I have a fuzzy memory of something like that &
thought perhaps that is my problem. I've searched for a place that gives that
choice so I can undo it but can't find it.
These are all icons I've created and used in the past; and some SnagIt
icons.
