Hidden Icons Available to Use
OS : Windows 95 User Level : Intermed.
The first thing most peopl need to do is make sure they aren't hiding any files from view in their folders. So open a floder (any folder) an click on View in the menu and go down to Options.Then click on the View tab in the new dialog box that comes up and make sure the Show all Files bullet is marked. Click Apply, then Ok to engage the change. You must do this is order to target the file that contains hidden program icons. Now, just to test the process, right-click on your desktop and go to New, then Shortcut. You may get a dialog box that asks you to fill in a command line, but you can just hit Cancel since this is only a test. Now right-click on the New icon and go to Properties. Then click on the Shortcut tab in the dialog box that appears. Then click on Change icon...In this test case it brings up another dialog box which defaults to the icons we're used to. Click on Browse...and locate the file 'pifmgr.dll' in your Windows\System folder. Click on it, Click on Open, and it returns you to the previous dialog box, with your new choices of icons that were previously inaccessible. Find the one you like, click Ok. Then click Apply in the first dialog box, then Ok. You should have your new icon on your desktop.
