Re: Icons in taskbar OT

["M.W. Poirier" poirmw@xxxxxxxx]

 I am not clear on how FireFox fits into this matter, but regarding
 programme icons on the title bar and on the task bar, I have noted
 that if I call up the DOS programme from a shortcut on the desktop,
 I get the appropriate DOS programme icon. However, if I open a DOS
 window and navigate to the appropriate subdirectory, and then load
 the DOS programme, I get a generic DOS icon, i.e., a miniature screen
 with a write background and a blue bar at the top. My OS is XP Pro.

 I don't know if this bears on anything that is being said here.
