I know how to create a short cut on my desktop for IE with the
properties of "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
http://www.answers.google.com.  This opens IE and takes me right here.
 How do I create a custom icon for this?  (Say from a .jpg or .bmp
file.)  Thanks!

If I'm reading you right, you should be able to right-click on the
desktop icon (assuming a Windows system), and then select Properties
from the menu.  The Properties box that opens up will have a "Change
Icon" option, and you can then select any image file you want as your
new icon.

Let me know if this works.

You are correct.  This worked.

Glad to hear that little trick worked for you.

Hope we'll hear back from again next time you have an unsolved mystery
on your hands.

All the best.

Thanks - this worked just fine.
