I had the icon appear recently but when I click on it, I get an error
message that the file 'ceshell.dll-162' cannot be found. I did a search of
my files and no ceshell.dll can be found. Am I missing something?

Have you unhidden the hidden files? Once you've done this look in the
windows directory. the -162 is a pointer to a location but don't know if it
is formatted correctly or what the target is, my ppc seems to use a
different way to point to rom applications ( such as :MSPIE for Internet
Explorer )

Yes I unhid all files in File Explorer. Still no good. Found an old
posting in the Dell forums about renaming the gamesico.lnk to icon.lnk. Did
that, soft re-set, now I have the Games folder with the little cards icon on
it and the icon.lnk file is gone from the folder.

Yeah, that's sort of a bug, the shell will show the icon.lnk files in
programs screens if you set the File Explorer to show hidden files, and the
trick is that even though File Explorer takes that setting into account
immediately, the shell itself will apply it on next soft reset only.

The soft reset seemd to work for me - a bit strange though
Thanks
