Is it possible to post Parallax program and web site shortcut artwork?

I would like to change my desktop folder icons to represent the BS2, SX and Propeller with the original Parallax icon artwork? I keep all the files I use the most on my desktop and instead of having a generic folder, I want to use the Icons to make those folders so I can find them quicker.

I have tried to copy and paste the·Icons into Fireworks without any luck.

Is it possible for one of the mods to post it for download?

    The Icons are embedded in the EXE files usually..... all you need to do is:

    Right Click on the folder
    select properties
    Click on the Customize tab
    click on Change Icon
    click on Browse
    browse to "C:\Program Files\Parallax Inc\Stamp Editor v2.2.6" or where ever you have it installed
    select the Stampw.exe
    click on open.
    select the icon and then hit ok.

    this is assuming you have Windows XP. If not the first step is to get windows XP.

    I have only tried this on the basic stamp editor, I'm not sure if the other processors use different software but BS2 program only contains the Icon for the Basic stamp 2. If your unable to get the other icons you can take pictures of each item and use basically the same procedure but select "choose picture" instead of "change icon". But I'm Sure Parallax would love to share the icons! [noparse]:)[/noparse]
