What version of VFP are you running? I went through the same thing, found an article on the MS Knowledge Base that explained exactly what to do, and it didn't work. Then I noticed that the article said that it applies to Visual FoxPro v. 3.0b, but not v. 3.0. So I called Tech Support, argued with them for a while, and eventually got them to send me the new version. When I set up the icon as you describe and compiled in 3.0b, Win95 displayed the small icon correctly under Explorer.

I'm sure that upgrading to 5.0 would fix it as well, but if that is not an option for you, get MS to send you a copy of 3.0b. They should do it for free, since you have a legitimate problem with the older version. Hopefully they will tell you this, but when installing 3.0b, you should not overwrite 3.0--save what you need to save, uninstall 3.0 (remove the entire directory) and then install 3.0b clean. Apparently there are some problems you can run into if you don't do this.

Have fun,
