After starting VFP once (sometimes two starts are needed), the correct icon is shown in the quick launch bar. Since I read that the existence of the quick launch bar depends on the version of IE (before IE 4 you won't have a quick launch bar), I wonder if IE would be responsible for the mess.

Robert,

I can't remember when or what caused a similar problem that I had with VFP 7.0 (it may have occurred when I installed SP1, but I'm not sure). Its icon was showing as the image editor. However, all I did was get an object reference to the link file, and point it back to the exe via the WSH, to fix it.

As I mentioned to Garrett Fitzgerald in another thread, I haven't had the opportunity (time) to report it yet. If you like and have the time, you might want to report it (can't hurt< g >). If you do, and get some feedback, I think we all might grateful if you pass on any information you get.

Regards,
George
