LOL. Glad you enjoyed the article. ;)

I’ve since ‘buried’ that printer and gotten one which has treated me far better. I should probably blog about it as an update, but I’ve been too busy.

Thanks! :)

Do you mean the icon that shows up for a CD?
Yes, I click Start, then My Computer, and the icons that show up there on my cd reader,
I would like to change or add an icon to my own software, burned cd’s. Do you know how to do this Koohisan?

Wow, everything you showed me in the link you provided, I had done already, but I had for some reason had a “,1” after the ICON=Boom2.ico so it looked like this “ICON=Boom2.ico,1”
I don’t know what the “,1” was telling Windows, but that is the reason it was not working. Thank you again for your efforts. Do you know what the “,1” does?

I think it might have been used to specify that the icon was in an executable file. Since executables can contain multiple icons, the 1 would signify the first one. I’ll have to look it up to be sure though, although I have seen what I just described in other places in Windows for sure.

Thanks for approving my answer! I appreciate it! :)
