TSGL: Available substitute icons ?

[H Davis]

Ed,

You can use any program that contains icons to select another icon. 
Right click on the shortcut whose icon you want to change. Click 
properties then Change Icon. At the top click browse and navigate to any 
executable program (exe, dll, com, etc) you want and it will show you 
what icons are contained in that file. Choose one. A good choice that 
has a lot of icons is:
\windows\system32\SHELL32.dll

Most .dll's have icons and those in the Windows folder are a good place 
to look.

Also, it will drag a bookmark to the exposed area of the desktop; will supposedly drop its drag there, but the drag is nowhere to be found. And, when the curser re-enters the Firefox screen, the shortcut drag symbol is still attached and won't shake off. I have to reboot to get rid of it.
