The customer looks at the desktop, not using Windows explorer. As I said, most of the time, the shortcut has the icon that is embedded into the .EXE file. But a few times, the desktop shortcut had a different icon.

>>I really don't remember what colors I used when creating the icon. But, as I said, most of the time the icon on the desktop shows correctly. But a few times it changed to the Fox head.

Most of the time = 98% of the time on 98% of the computers :)
