That may work for you. But changing the extension of a file does not
automagically change it to a true icon file. Some software chokes on
this type of faked icon (I've had to track this down a couple of
times), and some Windows setups don't seem to read them either
(probably those which aren't set to display iconized bmp's). Nor do
you get alpha-transparency, multiple display sizes, etc. So please
don't send your "icons" to any of my users. I'm glad it is working
for you, though.
