Yeah, right!< s >

The thing (about my experiment) that still puzzles me is this. I refreshed and refreshed the desktop and the 256 color icon (supposedly) didn't go away. I re-boot, and it's the Fox head. OK, so I rebuild with the original icon (16 colors only) and refresh. The Fox head stays. I go to the property sheet, see the icon is change icon dialog. Select it, refresh the desktop. The Fox stays. No matter what I do, the Fox stays. Then I re-boot...the original icon is back.

You got any clue here, Garrett? I know I don't.
