      I am actually surprised and thankful that no one has copied my signature yet. Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

      I thought I had seen this quote before. It's on quotationspage.com: Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

        I do something that's probably ghetto. I make the icon a .jpg or .png then just change the extension to .ico. Haven't had a problem yet.

            Haha.. good idea! Nonetheless it didn't work out for my idea. I'm trying to change a folder's icon in Windows Explorer. It wants an ICO file. When I tried to used a renamed .PNG the property panel refused, saying there was no icon in my file! :sigh: Good try though! ;-)

                I just realized it wants to open in gimp. I recently downloaded gimp and haven't had a chance to really explore it but it seems gimp will save in ico format as well and it is a free application. Why not try that? http://www.gimp.org/[^]

                    Any idea where could find one? Sometimes ago someone here gave a link to a cool application which could take a bunch of PNG file of appropriate size and make a .ico file out of it. Any idea where could I find such a free tool? Thanks! :-) (Yes, I googled, but withouth much satisfying results)

                    In the same vein - I'm looking for a simple animation (.avi) file editor. Googling for .avi editors returns apps like VirtualDub, which are not suited for this purpose. Just today I could've used an animation similar to Explorer's File Copy, only, replacing both "end points"--a PC on the left, and another PC on the right (combined maybe with a 16x16 RegEdit icon), to display in an app that spends a fair a bit of time reading a remote machine's registry over a LAN. I have no graphic design skills whatsoever, but I figure by using an existing animation as a starting point (such as the AVIs provided with VS) and replacing parts of it with existing icons, I should be able to make something that looks half-decent... Does anyone know of a tool that could do such a thing?
