Thank you for bringing this thread out of the mud (entertaining as it is... really, I get a good laugh out of it) and back to the issue.
I have also found on occasion for reasons unknown to me, that sometimes the icon comes up perfectly in 9 computers, but on the 10th one (same OS, likely fiddled with by infinite number of users) it doesn't show. This happens (on occasion) even when I have set the icon equal to the exe. I have also wondered about it from time to time. That's all in windows (sorry, no experience in developing for Mac, although I'd rather use one as my developing platform in many cases), since less than 1% of our market uses Mac (except for universities, which rarely outsource any kind of development, at least in my part of the world). And for what it's worth, I have yet to see this problem in Windows XP. It seems from what I can remember to be a Windows 98 and under problem. Can't recall it happening with 2000 either.
