I have 16x16 and 32x32 icons set up in my programs resource file under 
MAINICON.  I have the res file added to the project. But unless I add 
the line (#pragma resourse "Program.res") it will not set the program 
icon.  And if I have this line in the project.cpp file it works fine for 
win2k, xp etc.. but fails to show the correct icon on the taskbar for 
windows 98 or 95, it only shows the default borland buildings.

What can cause this problem?

Another programmer doesn't ever need the pragma line and his application 
  icons work fine on all the systems.  We both have looked into why my 
application may have problems but can't see anything out of the ordinary.

any help is appreciated

thanks

Shannon

OK after a bit of hacking I found out that some of my own home built 
components res files had the MAINICON set to the blue borland buildings. 
  After going into each of these components res files and removing the 
MAINICON icon and relinked my application.  I no longer need the pragma 
line and the icons work like they should.

I now have another issue.  If I open up one of those other home built 
components it inserts the MAINICON back into the res file.  Is there a 
way to surpress that from happening besides setting the res file to read 
only?  Because if I set it as read only borland displays an error saying 
had a problem writting to res file when closing.  Gets kinda annoying.

thanks for any help
