Re: OT File icon change
It is possibly just a result of poor RAM memory buffer clearing in win 98. When applications are run, they use so much RAM. When they close, win 98 does not clear up the memory they were using very well, so it remains used up until you reboot. This is why win 98 computers slow down after being on for a number of hours. It could also potentially cause weird things to happen, like random icon appearance changes. How long had the computer been on when this happened?
I forget what they are called, but there are some free programs out there that will free up the locked memory that isn't really being used, but is locked from poor RAM management in win 98 (and other earlier than 2000 windows OS).
