>>>>Since upgrading to 5.0a, we have not seen the EXE icons with Windows Explorer or Windows NT explorer. FPW EXE's show their icons added by ADDICON.APP just fine. EXE's from VFP 5.0 did show the icons added to the project [ Project menu pad, Project Info bar, project tab on pageframe, [Icon...] box correctly shows the icon. Am I the only one who no longer sees the proper icons on EXE's built by VFP 5.0a or am I missing something?

>The icon worked on 5.0 -- we did not change the icon, we simply have tried to keep pace with the MicroSoft updates, and we no longer see the icon, the same icon that worked on 5.0. If there is a new FAQ, maybe you could post the MSKB Qnnnnn document?

Double check that installing 5.0a didn't overwrite your icon. If you open the ICO file in Imagedit, that comes with VFP, it should contain a 32x32 and a 16x16 image. The 32x32 is used on the desktop and the 16x16 is used in places like Explorer. HTH
