    Need more info ;)

    What is the window that opens ?

    You don't like where it open ? or you don't like what it shows ?

    I assume you mean internet explorer or whatever browser you are using

    No no. I mean the Browse button that opens like, for instance when you click on a folder and click properties and click change icon. It opens up a browse window so you can choose where the icon file is. Mine opens at system32. I would like it to open to My Documents. Is there a way to do this?

    That all depends on what program you use to browse from. if you are in word and do open it will probably remember where you were last time, or default to 'my documents'

    its could probably be changed with a registry edit but I don't reccomend doing that.

    The reason your browse dialog at the moment is showing system32 is because thats where the current icon is most likly stored, the windows 'shell' icons are stored in a dll in that folder
