Hail Lurkers,
I'm having a problem some of you may be able to help me out with dealing with an "icon". I'm trying to change the properties of a folder so it appears with a certian picture, but the picture is .jpeg . I can get the picture to appear on top of a folder, but I view in thumbnail view so I need to actually change the folder to my picture (a very small one, I assure you). How do I convert a .jpeg picture to an icon? What is an Icon? I noticed most files with an .exe extension have Icon files I can select picture from.
I tried the help in XP, but that was so utterly useless, I'd be surprised if the 'help' topics actually helped anyone ;) .
