hello,

I switch back and forth between Win2k and
WinXP pro.

In explorer, for DLL and OCX files, Win2k will
show the embedded icons. In contrast, WinXP over-rides
that behavior with some default icon. How that
icon is chosen, I don't know. Now every DLL has the
same icon, instead of the unique icon resource chosen
by the DLL author.

How can I tell WinXP to use the unique, embedded icon for
these 2 file types.

tia,
msp
