Hi

I have 2 MFC projects and one behaves normally and the other does not.
Using Visual Studio 2005 Professional, VC++.

For the one that behaves normally, if I go to edit resources, I see
that it describes that I have an Icon that is 32x32x16 colours
(despite the fact that clicking on New Image Type does not bring up
that resolution). If I place a shortcut on the desktop or minimise it
to taskbar, that icon is displayed

For the one that behaves strangely, if I go to edit resources, I see
that it describes that I have an Icon that is 32x32x16777216 colours
under Appearance in Properties.
If I place a shortcut on the desktop, that icon is displayed
If I minimise it, what I see is the default MFC icon. That is not
right. If anything I wish to get rid of 32x32x16777216 and only have
32x32x16. If i say i want a new custom image, type in 32x32x16, it
says I already have one! Fine - how do I view it and edit it?
I am frustrated with this resource editor as it is only showing me a
fraction of what is in this ICO file.

How can I see _ALL_ resources in a ICO file?
I only seem to see one of the Icon in a ICO file, not all.

Cheers

Forget this, I have found it off right-click menu

I can see what is wrong. A colleague (since left), did this.
