Cannot Choose Icons in Executable File

 * }

Q158841

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95
 * Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release, version 2.0

-

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 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.
