>>>I have a new app where the fox logo appears on the menu as an icon rather than my application icon. I am going crazy trying to figure out whats wrong. If I open up my app folder the exe file has the correct icon. Also if I go in explorer to windows/startmenu/programs/"myapp" programgroup/myapp.lnk is a fox head but if I go to properties and change icon my app specific icon shows there.

>>Make sure your icon has both 16x16 and 32x32 images. In VFP5, there is the imagedit utility to do this, in VFP6 we seem to have lost that.

>Well I used this same icon in VFP 5.0 and everything worked. Now, in 6.0 it doesn't work. One more thing... I went into the startmenu in explorer and hit properties on the myapp.lnk file I then hit change icon and again, as I said before it does show myapp's icon but I noticed that the filename was myapp.exe rather than myapp.ico as soon as I switch that to myapp.ico it works fine. What I need to know now is where is it getting the name for the icon. I went into my project and the icon setting there is the .ico file.

You can also try changing the main screen icon in your startup prg like so:
_Screen.Icon = "myicon.ico"
