Irfanview will save any image as a Windows icon file, xxxx.ico. Stash
that anywhere and you can "change icon" on a desktop link and use your
picture. Don't need to put it into a dll or exe.

OK, you knew that and I just figured it out.

There was a game we played where we were inside a ship and shoot
at others the same, but we were allowed to record clips and play
them as we played the game.

R Lee Ermy finding the doughnut was very popular.
