Well, everytime I make a short cut to a web page on my desktop I get the
same old "blue e" icon............. and when I click properties to change
the icons only about 4 choices show up....... so where or how do I download
a better selection of icons for all my website shortcuts? I'm using Win XP
Thanks......

free icons...there's millions of them out there...

Ooops...moreicons.dll is in W9X. But you can look at *any* .dll, .ico, or
..exe file in your whole stinkin' computer and see if there are icons there
you want to use.

Have you ever heard of being pleasant to someone who answered your
*specific* question of "where or how do I download a better selection of
icons" ?

BTW, I could tell you *how* to find the icons on your computer. But I
