A short while ago (~2 days) I posted an article in which I described a 
problem I am experiencing concerning the icons of my inits.  Basically,
the icons are there during startup, but once the desktop has appeared,
SOME of the icons are replaced by the generic, blank-page icon (the others,
like GateKeeper, syill look fine when I open my system folder).

Some people e-mailed responses about rebuilding the desktop--didn't work.
Others told me to "reset the bundle bits, then rebuild the desktop." OK,
but my question is"

How do you reset the bundle bits?

I have used ResEdit VERY little, and have not used any othr disk tools.
Can someone describe the procedure to me SIMPLY, or refer me to a good
source?  Thanks!
