Is it just me?

from WinCustomize Forums
I have a problem with IconPackager. The .ip files are great, and most of the .zip files are fine, but I just got a hold of 2 .zips that would not install the usual way. I had to unzip them directly into the themes sub-folder. Now I have a whole bunch of loose icons running around free in that folder! Anyone know how I can round them up and stuff them in a folder where they belong? And have them still work?

That happens sometimes. When it happens to me I highlight all the loose icons and move them into a new folder.

They should all have a common name.

You can highlight by holding down the Ctrl key or to highlight a row, highlight the first icon, hold down the shift and highlight the last icon.

Delicious, do I use the "move this file" link on the sidebar, or can I drag and drop several that are "lassoed"? Usually, I just drag and drop one at a time, but there are so many now, I'm totally out-numbered! Do you happen to know why this happens with some .zips and not others? Is there a way to tell before the unzipping ceremony if there will be trouble?
Thanks!

Hi, I'm back!
I decided to chance it and I went in, clicked "New Folder" on the sidebar, highlighted all the icons for one of the packages, clicked "move the selected items", opened the new folder and then hit "move". It was tense, but it worked! I put all the icons from three different packages in their respective "beds" in less than ten minutes! I'm thrilled, and now we all know how to tame the wild Icon.

Tame the wild icon.

Tell the truth, if someone asked me how to use the sidebar I would have to plead ignorant. That was shut off the first day I installed XP. I drag and drop everything. When working with PSP, I drag the graphic from the folder to the work area.

/me doesn't know how to use the open button on any program.
