Ok, that will indeed save an icon that is accepted by the Microsoft 'metadata package creator' tool although I was unable to get it to actually display on the machine I tried to install the icon on.

You're right, it doesn't generate the best image resolution with paint... but until I can actually get it to display in the device manager it's unknown how 'nice' the image would appear there.

Thanks for the info! It's all about the next guy/gal to come along trying to solve this problem!
