I'm a little late coming to this thread, but why the emphasis on the icon? As far as I know, the icon is a rather arbitrary symbol to tell the user what type of file it is; you can set it to be any icon you like. The question is whether the extension is .iso or .rar; who cares about the icon? In Windoze open a folder, View > Folder Options > View tab, uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types". This is one of the first things I do when I work on Windoze. If the iso did save as .rar, I have had luck with just renaming and changing the extension. What browser/ftp program did you use to download the iso's? Good luck, Todd
