Tika, top of the morning to you !  

 TC> I just had a thought. The icon for Blue Wave is an old format, which
 TC> it seems that Vista does allow but it might be too old for Office to
 TC> recognize.

        Nice thinking Tika. I have been doing the Shortcut Bar in
   Office forever, I am on O2K and when on Me, W2K or now XPP, it
   accepted the BW icon readily.

 TC> Also maybe you need to instead make the shortcut from within
 TC> Office iteslf instead of dragging it from the desktop into Office. Can
 TC> you edit the icon in the Office toolbar? Just some more idead which I
 TC> don't know if they will work, but I thought I'd mention. 

        I do not think that the icon can be made inside of Office, at
   least, I do not know how this could be. I just tried many steps in
   this regard, I got the BW.icon on the Desktop, but as sson as I try
   to change the .icon to the .exe in its properties, it changes to
   that blue "?". I guess that I will have to live with this.
     
       
...    After TI, I am giving Ubuntu a hard time.
...      Or is it U'U giving me a hard time ???
