I should have pointed out that in my comment about the --icon option I had attempted to supply a .png file. Here is the complete command I used: /usr/bin/wineshelllink --desktop --path "d:/Pegasus/4.12a/winpm-32.exe" --link "PMail 4_31" --args "-i jelly -z 128" --icon "/win/g/icon editor/yelpmail.png" --descr "E-mail client written by David Harris" The icon option did not take effect on the desktop. The descr option appeared in the comments field rather than the description field. -- Jim Sylvain Petreolle wrote at 12:56 on 12 Mar 2006: > Wine extracts embedded icons from exes when creating shortcuts and > running a windows program. > > wineshelllink's --icon option only uses images the system can display, > like png,xpm... so embedded icons cant work. > > --- "James E.
