Patricia,

icon format has changed. But are you working with
*Shortcut* icons for the apps in question ? (In

If you go to major shareware repositories like
Majorgeeks.Com or TuCows.Com, and search for "Icon
Editors" -- and maybe even throw in "Vista" on your
keyword search -- I would imagine that you must come
up with a fair number of hits. And Brian has already
come up with a freeware one, which likely has
introductory and documentation files.
