Have you tried right-clicking (Ctl-click) on the icon in the shared side bar and when the contextual window opens select Get Info and then highlight the icon in the corner of the Get Info Window and paste in any other icon you prefer? I don't know this works for certain, but I think it should work? -- 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.

Ok, tried that (the root login) and when logged into the root, all the icons are changed to default network folders in this case. so, nope... won't work (so far anyway) Jeffrey Engle Kamiah, Idaho 83536 macgu...@gmail.com -- 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.

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.

.a07 files ???
is it possible to open .a07 files on Macs? and what is an .a07 file anyway? a quick google indicates it's some sort of archive file for Windows or something?

Re: .a07 files ???
I don't think so, without the rest of the files. It seems that it would go .a01, .a02 and so forth. It looks like that is part of an archive and is missing the rest -- 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.

Re: .a07 files ???
I'm sorry I messed that up. It would go .arj, .a00, .a01 and so forth. That would be part 9 of the whole archive so without the rest, no you can not open it. -- 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.
