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

You should post Outlook Express questions in an OE newsgroup.
