Your correct about the system 7 onwards when it comes to icon pasting.
However, they cannot delete or edit the icon if it's on a CDROM.
The only other method is using resedit, but you really need to know what
your doing. As for MetaCard, I tried it a few years back, had problems and
never tried again - shoot me, I'm old...
