........I gave it try but as I thought it wont work because a 32x32 icon wont
display as 256x256 Vista icon.
By the way, the default Vista icons contained in the imageres.dll are
256x256 - 64x64 - 48x48 - 40x40 - 32x32 - 24x24 - 22x22 and 16x16.
All these resolutions are available in 1 icon and how could it be possible
that a 32x32 icon will display crystal clear as 256x256?
Anyway, I appreciate your help but I think if it would be possible to modify
the path to that icon from absolute to relative could work or even better to
embed the icon but I don't know how to do it.
If you or someone else got an idea how to do it please let me know.
Thanks again.......Tommy.......
