Thank you Richard. The links you provided are most helpful. I'll have a good read and then try it out. Your help is most appreciated.

Hi, I know this place is primarily for AutoIT, but I know there are people with C++ knowledge here. If this thread is in the wrong place, feel free to move/delete it. About 9 months ago I moved to China. There is no Facebook here, so I am using Freegate as a proxy to access Facebook and other blocked sites. Occasionally Freegate downloads a newer version and leaves the new executable with the old one, forcing me to have to update my shortcut. Annoying. I want to write a short program which will check the directory and execute the latest version. I don't want anyone to write the code for me, I want to do that myself. I just want to know how to find out what files are in a given directory. Thanks for any help.

Interesting, thank you very much.

Just wondering, can AutoIt check the system tray to see if an item matching certain criteria exists? I've been looking in the help file at the tray management section, and I can't seem to find anything.

It said "Out of system resources" when I added it, but it seems ok.

Ok, I will try it. Thank you.

Every time I replace an icon with Resource Hacker, I break the exe.

I don't seem to have that icon. If I do, I don't know where it is. EDIT:Ah, ok. I'll just wait and see what turns up. Thanks for the help guys.

Hmm, ok. Well, it seems all I can do is wait until they have time to fix it then, it's only a minor inconvenience anyway. Thanks guys.

The icon is going in fine. It shows at most sizes, it's only one size which shows the AutoIt icon. I think Windows has probably just cached that icon and is using the icon from the cache instead.

There are no errors, only a warning about it being unicode and won't work on older versions of Windows.

That is the same way I have done it.

I made an icon with all available sizes. And they all work, except on my Desktop, and in Explorer when the view is set to tiles. I think it's probably just an icon cache thing or something.

Some of the icons are coming from a dll in the Windows dir which contains many icons, and others are found elsewhere. Some don't even have icons.

Thank you Tvern. I guess I'll just have to have them ugly as the icons are already on the user's computer. I'm just finding them and bringing it into the GUI as a preview.

I am using GUICtrlCreateIcon and updating the icon based on a combobox entry. I want the icon to be quite large but it doesn't look good. Is there any way to make the icon appear clearer at larger resolutions?

Hi everyone. I'm new, I just started using AutoIt 2 days ago and so far I am really enjoying it It's very easy to use and the documentation is excellent. Here is my problem, I have written a script and I have given it a custom icon. I compile the exe and it still shows the default AutoIt icon. If I change the Icon size, then it changes to my custom icon. It's just the one size which shows as the default icon. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is, and how to fix it?
