icon file(s), where is it/they?

[Guest penguin]

hello,,,

i have been loaned a win2000 machine, (this one) and

thought i would look around as i havent had much to do

with 2000.(my other machine is sick, and will take a while

to fix... $$$$$$$$$'s)

i wanted to change some icons for a few utilities i down-

loaded, and for other things like 'Word, XL' etc.

 

i did a search using this:: ' *.ico ' but found nothing

relating to icons. win98 has 'moreicons' and 'shellicons'

and similar, but i cant find the file(s) in 2000 where i can

have lots of icons to choose from.

i found the win2000 Help utility to be useless, there is

hardly anything there no matter what.

 

also, a bit off topic, this machine is using O/E5 and i cant

find the 'option' to stop my mail being automatically

opened......... my antivirus pinged two nasties today,

because they were being automatically opened.

 

thank you for help.

Here are a few icon files. Not all of them exist under Win2000.

Shell32.dll

Progman.exe

Explorer.exe

IExplore.exe

pifmgr.dll

moricons.dll

thanks for that,,,

any ideas of the setting in o/e i mentioned,?? not real

keen on having my mail automatically open soon as i go into

o/e. opens in preview pane instantly, and if i delete it,

the next mail in the queue opens.

like i said, 2000 is new to me, but o/e should be the same

as others?? shouldnt it?

 

thanks again
