I take it back. I just checked the folder again and the icons do look like icons. I guess, they are just not shown fine in the grid. Let me remove Fn2Lfn part from the code. BTW, it's not my code, it's yours <g> I'm just a mere mortal <g>

And, finally, the files are supposed to be deleted in the object's Destroy, but they are all here. Something is not right... Ok, let me spend few more minutes... UPDATE. Ok, found a typo in that method. I just cut and pasted your code instead of doing it with a little bit of testing. This reminds me one well-known guy here <g>
