I am a very experienced user of Windows and have searched around for this one.
Hopefully, its not another case of RTFM.

I tried this and it didn't mention "files"  -- it just cycled through
a bunch of icons and didn't use any ones I had put in the Windows

Any help?? Do I have to put the filenames in some ??.ini file???
