SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to change the icon associated with an executable file that
contains icons of its own, you may be presented with a selection of icons found
in the default Windows\system\shell32.dll file.

Attempts to manually enter the path to the executable file may generate the
following error message:

  The file <filename> contains no icons.

CAUSE
=====

A space in the path to the file prevents the file's use as a source for icons.

RESOLUTION
==========

Reinstall the program to a new folder that does not include spaces in the path.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 95. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
