Hi!

Windows' Program Manager probably expects full path names for the icon
files you've written on the File..Properties..etc line.  What possibly
happens is that when ProgMan regains control, the program being used
meanwhile had changed directory and the icon files were no longer present
in the 'relative' path.  In that case, the 'first available' icon is
displayed, which is just the PROGMAN.EXE's own DOS screen icon.
