... or have a look at IconS: http://nmsf.sscc.ru/neuro/freeware.html
its just a little (Windows) freeware for extracting icons from all
kind of icon-holding file format.

Just my two rappen.

For Win95 users, right click on any desktop icon, select properties, then
hit the "change icon" button.

Rename povicons.icl to povicons.dll, then change the icon as others
have described.

Avoids your having to go to needless expense for an icon editor,
especially when Microsoft has a perfectly good free icon editor
somewhere on their site -- search for "imagedit" and also "aniedit"
for their free animated cursor editor).

Oops.  I'm gonna have to remember to fix the sig on each message.

Btw, the expense for MicroAngelo or something similar is only
"needless" as I described it before if you only do icons once
in a blue moon like I do.  As you may have discovered if you've
found the Microsoft editor -- I couldn't find it myself just
now, but I only spent a couple of minutes -- it's "basically
works but not that nice".

I finally got to thinking about this. LOL!
Just save the icl file to an appropriate directory, then right click on your
Pov shortcut, properties, change icon, Browse, and then locate the *.icl
file.

It will then allow you to choose any of the icons.

I like the floor-and-balls and use it for the SuperPatch. Here's my
DSWPov icon (attached). It;s a 64x64 pixels, in case you use large
icons (MS Plus!).

Peter

Yup.  The only reason to name it from .icl to .dll is that, at least
in my build of Win95, it defaults to showing only .ico, .exe, and .dll
files ("Icon files").  It just saves a step.

I think it is a very nice icon.
It's a little more original than mine :)
However, some parts of the icon is
transperant where it shouldn't be.
I guess you made the icon in a paint
program and saved as .bmp and then
changed it to .ico? At least the same
thing happens to me when I do so.
