To answer your question, you have to type in the full file path in place of "##,0".
For example, "C:\My Documents\blank.ico"
HOWEVER, This worked for me in win 98, and you don't even have to go into the
registry:
Right click on desktop
Select "Properties"
Select "effects" tab
In "Desktop Icons" window, select the icon you want to change. (Listed are all
the "ibedded" desktop icons, such as My Computer, Recycle Bin, Network Neighborhood,
and My Documents for 98.)
Press "Change Icon" button
A new window will pop up called "change icon".
Type in the filepath to your icon, blank or what ever you like, or browse for
it using the browse button.
