Re: Xy window ID in NT

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Are you talking about something other than the obvious? The obvious being:
under properties for the shortcut, make the name whatever you want (I think
you do that under the General tab, but if that doesn't work, try the
Program tab's version of it.) Also change the icon at the Program tab.

In Tame, you get the right icon and the right .pif name.
