Use \VFP\IMAGEDIT\IMAGEDIT.EXE. This is the image editor that comes with VFP. Open the ICO file in IMAGEDIT. Check the Icon Image pulldown. There should be 2 choice -- one ending in 32x32, the other in 16x16. If only the 32x32 is there do the following:

1. From the Edit menu, choose Copy. This copies the existing image to the Clipboard.
2. From the Edit menu, choose New Image. A dialog box specific to cursor or icon files appears.
3. Select the image type from the list (small icon 16-color 16x16), then choose OK.
4. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
5. Save the ICO file.
