I recently installed Excel 4.0 on my hard drive.  I had a few
Excel 3.0 files lying around, which I opened and saved in Excel 4.0
format.  So far, so good.

When I got back to the desktop, I noticed that the Excel 4.0 files
all had generic icons.  No amount of rebooting, desktop rebuilding,
using "SaveABNDL", or reinstalling Excel could convince thos
stubborn files to display anything other than generic icons.  The
icons for all other Excel file types (3.0, SYLK, Charts, Macrosheets,
etc) appear as they should.  Oh, except for the Excel Help file,
which also has a generic icon.

Is this a problem with Excel 4.0, my desktop, or me?  Any other
suggestions?  Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks in advance.
