Program icon

I read somewhere in this group that I can change the icon displayed in the task bar from the "Compass" icon to one of the three FC icons by changing this line in the FreeCommander.ini file:-

fcIconNr=1

to 2, 3 or 4

However, when I do this there is no change - the compass icon remains, even after reloading FC and after a computer reboot. :(

What else can I do?

Cheers ............

What version of Windows, Vista? If so, maybe you have more than one ini file and you are editing the wrong one. (Thank you, Microsoft...) It should work. I have Windows XP, which is less obnoxious in its ways, but my FC is not installed in "Program Files". That saves me a lot of hassles with other programs too.

I like the compass ;)

Vista

You are a marvel! SPOT ON!! :) - I forgot that I had relocated the .ini file to another folder where I keep a lot of things that I back up every night and I was editing the one in the "Program Files/FreeCommander" folder :(

All OK now!

I must be getting too old for this sort of thing!!

I don't mind the compass but it is too much like another program's icon that I use.

Many thanks ........

Yep! - 3 years past the biblical "use by" date of "three score years and ten"!
