Ah, I rather thought so.
I did manage to check, and none of the nice icons so far created
here work in Vista. They show up on the Change Icon screen, but
Apply is grayed out and I'm left with the plain piece of paper icon.
What I have discovered (haven't had a chance to check those sites
yet) is that Vista does expect a file either with an .ico
extension or one embedded in a .dll. The standard ones that come
with Vista, and to which it directs you when you first choose
Change Icon, are found in a file
c:\windows\system32\imageres.dll
There is also a file called
Icon Code Services.dll
in that directory.
PS REally maddening "feature" of Vista: I cannot get Folder
Options-View->Details to stick. Every time I reboot, it gives me
thumbnails or some other silly eye-candy view, and I have to tell
it again, View, Details, Blast it.
