You need to have program that has transparency. Then make a transparent 32 pixel square. It needs to be a bitmap. Then change the file association to .ico. I put the Homemade Icons in a folder with a file that I found on line that allows the icon to work, when you use the change icon feature. If you don't have the photo or paint program, then email me and I will send you the invisible icon and the file to make it work.
