Marc: That is a large file; you can probably change the resolution and get a significantly smaller file. I would likely use a jpg or gif file instead; jpg files have a better definition and can be compressed; gif files tend to be small but are normally limited to 256 colors. Javier,

I think 1 meg is too big for such a small icon. Maybe I should save that bmp file in a different format?? I got the idea from a shareware program I found that only cost $59. I know it would be cheaper to just buy that program but what is the fun in that?
