The icon is contained within the c:\WINNT\system32\url.dll file in Windows 2000.

What message do you get?

Check the shell extensions section for a way to have a custom .url icon and still have the ability to assign a custom one to specific .url files, and those favicons keep working too (also, have it for .dll files and more - great stuff!).

if someone can help me out with this problem it would be such a help... i installed internet explorer 6 on my WinME system.. i have new .http icons but i still have my old .jpg,.jpeg icons and since i use ie to open jpegs i want the new icons but since its winme i have no idea how to change the icon.. in folder options in the conrtol panel for jpegs there is no option tab for advanced "which is used to change the icon" theres only an option to select what program you want to open them with.. and even if i pick ie it still uses the old icons.. how can i change this?? i think the icon is in a .dll somewhere and i looked at all the other posts and it dosnt seem to help so if anyone out there can help.. man, id be so greatful..thank you!

thank you plastic, that helped the problem! but one other problem.. since i used that program all my thumbnails (not icons) are in 24bit instead of 16bit and they look different.. how can i fix this? i checked all the options like "display my icons in all possible colors" and such.. no such luck yet.. so if anyone would know that would be a great help. thank you!
