Carl,

I just used OPTION TWO with your icon saved at the same location, and it's working fine for me after logging off and on.

Use step 2 in OPTION TWO to reset everything back to default, log off and on, and try OPTION TWO again double checking for any small possible mistake being made to see how it goes this time.

Yes! It worked this time. Perhaps something crashed when I logged out. For some reason my computer crashes when i log out. Thanks though!

Carl,

I'm happy to here that your Control Panel icon is changed to how you wanted now.

If you like, please create a new thread with any related details you can think of about your computer crashing when you log out, and we'll be happy to see what we may be able to do to help. It wouldn't hurt to see the link below, and include the report with the post to hopefully help with finding the cause.

It turns out that I only had a log off problem during the process of changing my icon. Now I can log off without the computer freezing.
