How can I get "moricons" to open? I have the .dll file, but I get a message
that there is no application attached and I have to create a file or folder?
I also want to know how to download new icons and where to put them so I can
use them to change icons

Rather than navigate to 'moricons.dll', look in the same folder for
'shell32.dll.. the icons contained in 'moricons' go back years.. I remember
them from years ago..

One learns something new every day.. whose idea was it to include icons that
go back to the days of Lotus 123 v.1?.. I thought that the moricons file had
been dropped.. :)

Mike,

I just checked on it when I read the OP.

Change Icon button defaults to %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll.

It's a lot of work navigating to %homepath%\My Documents\ICONS so it hardly
seems worth it navigating to moricons.dll.

Mike,

What I am saying is that the icons in moricons.dll are so ugly that it is
not worth the effort to even browse to them.

I glom onto icons where ever I happen to find 'em.

Example...

Go here, right click and Create Shortcut
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/troubleshoot.aspx?ln=en

Open %homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files, locate the
favicon.ico file, drag it to the Desktop and Rename it to whatever. Mine is
Microsoft Update.ico.

Like I said, I find 'em where ever. :-D

Yes, Mike.

In one of the private groups there's been a lot of discussion about Windows
95 and Internet Explorer. My old machine, which is decomposing as I write
this because I gave it to my folks, has Windows 95 on it as an upgrade from
3.11.

I should've kept it started a museum. ;-)

Mike, it looks like downstate PA because I'm using Suscom. They took over my
local Cable company, which was RNN.

I had a feeling that you did not live even close to where the IP #
suggested.. most who use the term 'upstate' live in the upper reaches of NY
State, and definitely not close to the southern edge of Pa..

Many people who live in New York City, call any part New York
State north of the city "upstate." To them, even Westchester
County is "Upstate," although it's in the southernmost 10% or so
of the state.

That may be your experience. It isn't mine. The ones I know all
live in Manhattan, and there are a fair number of them.

An interesting use of 'up', eh.. were a Canadian to say to me that they
lived in up-province Ontario, I would not consider Brantford, Simcoe or
Hamilton first.. I would be thinking Sudbury, Thunder Bay or Timmins (home
of Shania)..

Yup! I'm an ex-New Yorker, and I never used the term "upstate"
that way. I have friends living in Manhattan who have a summer
home in what they call "upstate." I've pointed out to them that
their home is roughly 300 miles south of the Downstate Medical
Center, but it does no good.

I've been a N'Yawka all my life, originally from Brooklyn. "Upstate" is used
in the NYC area to denote any place in New York that is not in NYC itself or
on Long Island. "The City", however, refers to Manhattan, ie: "I'm going
into The City.", commonly used by the denizensof the other four boroughs, as
well as Long Island and Westchester.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

I sold books door to door about a hundred years ago in Utica, NY.

Also flew in and out of Binghamton, NY while working in Wyalusing, PA. In
the Endless Mountains along Wyalusing creek and the Susquehanna River.
Pretty country.
