Re: Where are icons really stored?

[Quoted] Using the registry entries is a PITA.

In Windows create a shortcut to ifrun60.EXE with the full path to your compiled form as an argument. Then modify the Start In property of the shortcut giving it the path of your compiled form instead of the path to ifrun60.EXE. Put all your icons in the same directory as your compiled form. You can put your shortcut on the desktop or in the Start Menu.

Best!
