When I moved my MS games folder over to my new rig, I lost my desk top icons to launch the ETO/PTO/MAW, so I've been going into the main folder and lauching from the exe. file. I took the ETO exe. file and moved it to the desktop and renamed it ETO, big mistake. Now it changed the attributes of the file and I can't seem to reverse what I've done...... any ideas?

Look in the main folders of ETO, MAW, and PTO for little files with an ico extension.

That's where they are on my XP machine.

Thanks Kelly, but if I've messed up the exe file, I'm not sure I'll be able to launch ETO anyway......

Let me get this right. You just dragged and dropped the exe file onto your desktop and renamed the "eto.exe" to eto. Drag it back to its appropriate folder and rename it back to its original name, then just right click select 'Send To' 'Desktop(create shortcut)'.

My bad. I didn't read carefully enough. I thought you had merely lost the icons for the desktop shortcuts, which has happened to me on occasion.

Scottmm73 has the right answer.
