Can't change app and view icons in a VC++ 5 MDI App

I have an VC++ 5.0 MDI app. I was all originally generated as an
Appwizard MDI app. I'm trying to change the apps icon ( by changing the
IDR_MAINFRAME icon resource to the one I want ) and the view icon ( by
changing the IDR_XXXXX resource to the icon I want ). That was all I
used to have to do ( I'm pretty sure ). But no matter what I do, the App
comes up with the MFC Icon and the views have the familar Doc icon.

Now I have changed the doc-View to have multiple views share a common
doc, so I wonder if this has something to do with the DocTemplate
classes.

I've also tried to directly override the mainframe's create function so
that the the icon explicilty is set to my icon. That also has no effect.

So how do I get rid of the standard MDI app icons ? Deleting them from
the project and directory seems to be no impediment to their popping up>

Thanks

You probably changed the 32x32 bit icons but not the 16x16 bit icons.

Change these in the resource editor, selection using combobox Device :-)

did you change 16x16 icons also (in resource editor select 16x16 in the drop
down)

I bet he didn't. His description of the problem describes this situation
exactly. I had the problem once and it took me forever to figure it out.
That dropdown hiding the 16X16 isn't obvious at all.
