IMHO there is something wrong with your explorer as not displaying the icon at all is weird. I tried on several Windows and it works as expected, can anybody else confirm ? You could be right... My Windows 11 build version is 22635.3495 , which is a Beta version. So, maybe there is something differ...

Very good work, and fast too ! I'm impressed...
Thank you, Fred and resident elves.

Does being skilled at inserting a foot in own ones mouth count? There are days I could put on a great act.

Are you saying you're agile at putting your foot in your mouth ?
That would certainly count... however you do it.
We run a club for that. You could join.

Good news, especially that it’s shiny ! My other apps will be jealous.
Thank you, Fred.

PS : … and when do we get to take it out for a test drive ?

Thanks, ChrisR for the best — and most complete — explanation I’ve had so far.
The fog is dissipating.

As we say where I live, I catch quickly, as long as you explain lengthily.

oh yes.
Endless obfuscations too.
But, as i commented above, I’m still in awe of the intellectual contorsions.
It takes a code acrobat to come up with something like this, and I’ve always envied acrobats.

On the topic of resource files... Perhaps this will help you get started. Help with ressources files (.RC) Ressources Files Excellent link, Axolotl . Much appreciated. But pay attention to this all important detail : searching the forum for resource will NOT find ressource ... CORRECTION : Sorry Ax...

Ah ! Now I understand. Thank you AZJIO for being specific and a lot clearer.

I’m in awe… but

So simple and, especially, so much clearer.

Open some file in the " Resource Hacker " program [...] You already have me stalled :oops: with your first 3 words : Open some file ??? Could you be more vague ? :( What type of file should that be ? A text file ? An icon file ? What should the file be or contain ? Thanks for reminding me...

Thank you AZJIO and Bisonte for taking the time to reply. (I was not ignoring you or this topic, i was simply under the weather for the past days.) I'll study your suggestions and see if I finally understand how to prepare resource files and get them to work in PB. I still wish there was some kind o...

Sharing code in the body of an e-mail actually is not a good idea.
Better attach your .pb file(s) to the mail.

Exactly… as BarryG clearly experienced.

I know how to include data in a compiled program using IncludeBinary() and CatchImage() but that does not make the icon visible so that you can assign specific icons to specific filetypes. I think that can only be done using a resource script . I would be grateful if someone could provide a complete...

No.

They each have their idiosyncratic rules and complications.
They just watched the parade as HTML evolved to version 5...
