Thank you for your reply Jacque. I spent some more time playing with this and
eventually realised it only affects the Dock Icon.
I think the dictionary is a little misleading, the summary states; "or used as
the desktop icon of a stack file or application", so I read desktop icon =
finder icon, sadly not, desktop icon = dock icon only.
Seems odd that something that is so easy to do in the Finder is such a pain to
do by script.
