Where is everyone? No PC problems today or bad market blues? I have a good little tip with an annoying bug. Since the intro of the Quick Launch tray in Win 98 I've always kept a shortcut to the Control Panel there, it saves a few clicks every time you need to access the Control Panel. Now here's my little problem, I like to use the old default icon, the yellow folder with a hammer on it. In Win XP it doesn't seem possible. The icon is still right where it's always been in %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll, but after right clicking the icon in the Quick Launch tray, clicking properties and then clicking change icon and selecting the old default icon and seeing the old default icon appear in the top of the Control Panel Properties window, the new XP Control Panel icon, the white pad with a check in it, is still there. I even went a step further in my attempt to use the old icon. My PC dual boots W2K Server and XP Pro I tried using the icon from W2K, WINNT\system32\SHELL32.dll but that didn't work either. I thought about copying and renaming the icon but I couldn't figure out how to do that. I can change to any other icon just not the old default one.
