Thanks...

Now, if I understand you, if an app is created the icon is referenced in the registry?
Then what happens if you create both? i.e. which one takes precedence over the other. I think it is the one in the registry. The reason I say this is due to the fact that, I have a sub mopdule, that I believe I created an app on my machine first, and the icon displayed by it is not the same as the one I put in the executable.

Any ideas?
Mike
