Since I do a bunch of anti-spyware work, there are a few different bits of malware that try to block doxdesk.com, usually using a Hosts file hijack. Try it with the IP address 64.251.25.168 instead - if that works you should probably investigate your Hosts file and/or look at spyware removers. -- Andrew Clover mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.doxdesk.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks a lot! (Still think 2.5 could have spunky new icons:) EuGeNe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It's easier than that in this case. Just unpack the icons in yout Python directory over the top of the existing ones. The change should get picked up the next time you log on. -- Ant... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Superb! How about getting them in the 2.5 release? Part of the reason why I am asking is that I am not sure what I have to do to get Win XP to use these instead of the one coming with 2.4.2. Cheers, EuGeNe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

OK, but Python IS clever, so its logo ought to be too. Since you are acknowledging they are tadpoles, I guess you've heard my gripes... mt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
