The OS-9, and before, way was to use Finder Get Info for some disk and select its icon by clicking. You can then copy the icon to the clipboard. After that do another get info on the disk or an alias to it that you want to change, select the icon, and paste. That sort of works on 10.3.9 and I'm pretty sure that it did not on 10.2.x. It might fail with the huge icon files now available. OS 10.3.9 does not recognize disk icons prepared under 7.5 on my SE/30. -- --> A fair tax is one that you pay but I don't <-- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
