94831 2002-10-31 08:43:00 Is it possible to make desktop icons from my own jpg or bmp files?

Thanks for any suggestions or links to help sites. Cheers...Ken

94832 2002-10-31 08:47:00 On this months PCWorld there is a free Icon editor. Try that. From memory an icon is a bitmap of a specific size. mikebartnz (21)
94833 2002-10-31 08:51:00 See Novembers New Zealand PC World, p106 "Turn Images into Icons"

The item refers to Pinxys Picture to Icon Convertor (www.geocities.com)

Otherwise, Iconforge is available on Novembers PC World Cd.
