Perhaps even option-drag-to-another-folder will do the job. If I remember correctly, the Finder does a desktop file to desktop file copy of all the info related to the application (this includes the icon). However, if it takes too long to re-build your hard disk's desktop file, you can copy the application to a floppy, re-build it's desktop file, and then copy the application back. Hmmm. Now that I think about it though, even this may not be enough. Try it though. ____________________________________________________________________ Have a day. :^| Murat N.
