What do you use to create those reaaly cool icons on your site? Clean and sharp, nice!

I use the icons that come with Windows XP. The file is shell32.dll and many of the icons can be found in Windows ME and 9x versions of shell32.dll as well.

Simply right click on any shortcut icon on your desktop and select Properties. Press the Change Icon button. Select the shell32.dll file found in your System directory. You will find the icons displayed. Press Print Screen and copy the window with the icons into your image editing program. Cut the icon that you want and paste it in your program!

I wish that were true...kinda! I'm working on reviews of Swift 3D V2 and Swish 2. I'm hoping to follow that up with tutorials of those two programs; more in-depth, and hopefully better than what other sites are covering! Of course, my web server is still denying me access via FrontPage....so I'll be pretty much unemployed until my web hosts fix the problem =)

Cheers,
