Solve : Seeing icons under Windows ME?

Answer»

I've been using Win98SE for the past 7 years that's because I've had problems installing WinXP 2002. Anyway I bought a genuine copy of WinME of eBay last WEEK and I decided to give it a go over the weekend.

On Saturday I did a format and installed WinME without a problem but the first time it started up it CAME up with an Browseui.dll error. It said try a restart to fix the problem, I did this several times but the error was still there. Just clicking the mouse on the desktop brought the error back so it didn't work. So I put Win98SE back, old reliable.

My Problem Now.
So on Sunday I decided to give it one more try and it installed without errors and I can use it. The problem I have now is that I'm installing all my software back in and I use Imagedit.exe as my icon and cursor editor. So double-clicking on an icon and Image Preview opens it. Image Preview is neither use nor ornament. So I right-clicked the icon and from Open With and selected Imagedit.exe as default PROGRAM. Going back to an icon double-click on it the icon opened with the editor ok. So I install more software and I go back to look at some icons and the icon has changed on all of them to the Imagedit.exe icon. So I go back to File Types to see what is showing under ico and Imagedit.exe is showing. So I click the restore button to put it back to Image Preview and that changes all the icons to Image Preview icon.

In Win98 you could see the icon as a PICTURE, you just double-click on it and it asks what program you want to open it. Just select Imagedit.exe and the jobs done, you can still see the icon image and Imagedit.exe opens it, what could be simpler.

Does anyone have an idea how I can get Imagedit.exe to open the icons (well I can do that) and also see the INDIVIDUAL icon images? No one has any ideas then?

No worries I've put Win98SE back, so everything works as it should do.
