>>My app is creating a icon on some of my user's desk top when the user launches. Doesn't happen to all the users, just about 2 or three. The location of the icon points to c:\windows\desktop and it's name are foxuser.dbf and foxuser.fpt. The icon are white background (looks like a tiny blank sheet of letter size paper with one of its corner folded) with windows logo in the middle. If anybody know why this is happening please share it with me.

>Hey, I've seen that too. It occurred when I was using WSH or G. Tasker's lnkfiles.dll, I can't recall which - but I didn't have something set correctly. Are you using something to install the icons programmatically?

No, he's using the runtime, and has not issued a RESOURCE=OFF in CONFIG.FPW, or specified a Starts In directory for a shortcut, or the executable is being launched in the Desktop context, and CONFIG.FPW does not point to explicit resource files, so it makes an empty FOXUSER in the Starts In, in this case, the Desktop context. Without full VFP or another app to handle the .DBF or .FPT file extension in the registry, Windows uses its default icon.
