Introduction to Windows Vista

As always CNET Tips and Tricks is doing a good job of educating and introducing users to new software. This time it offers a free course on the secrets of Vista. I peeked into the lessons offered and I vouch for it. A great and useful read.

Icons

Icon overviews gives an overview of icons and its creation.
An Ico file contains multiple size icons. By default, the Resource Editor opens the icon in default type. However, the icon may be used as other type in the application. That is why you cannot get the right icon sometimes. Use the following steps to edit an icon:

1. Double click the .ico file in Solution Explorer
2. Right click the blank area of the Editor
3. Select Current Icon Images Types -> 16 * 16, 16 colors
4. Edit the Icon and save
5. Repeat 2-4 steps untill all images are changed
