To retain the program specific icon while using the strategy I outlined for
switching to a different directory than the executable for a Windows
application, simply click on Change Icon *AFTER* you have defined the
program command line.  Once there, enter the correct path and filename of
the file containing the icon.  In my case, I have WINWORD.EXE in
\WINDOWS\WORD, I have WFW.ICO in \WINDOWS\WORD\ICONS, and I have my WinWord
data files in \WINDOWS\WORD\DATA.  My command line is:

\WINDOWS\WORD\DATA\WINWORD.EXE and my icon file name is:

\WINDOWS\ICONS\WFW.ICO.

You may be wondering about WFW.ICO.  Well, I'm using WinWord 1.0, which has
a black and white icon in it.  WFW is a colour version which looks nicer in
the Program Manager.  I'm waiting for Microsoft to get Winword 1.1 to me,
which I expect has a colour icon built in.
