Changing icons on control applet shorcuts

[terrypin]

I'm not a programmer but would apprecaite being pointed along the right lines here please.

I'm trying to place a few extra shortcuts in various places on my 2210 Today screen. For example, the two below are under my Start menu. But, while the first looks fine, I want to change the icon on the second one. Is there some extra parameter I can add to 'ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,9' to achieve this please? For example, could I add an executable or DLL, with an icon number, if only I knew the syntax?

Runs TomeRaider program
------------------------
Target Type: Application
Target: \iPAQ File Store\Proporta Ltd TomeRaider\TrPP
Target Size: 98.5KB (100864 bytes)
This produces proper application icon.

Runs Sounds & Reminders settings:
--------------------------------
Target Type: File Folder
Target: ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,9
This just produces standard Windows shortcut icon.

Using iPAQ 2210 with WM2003.

One of my recent wishes was to replace the default PPC folder icon. Unfortunately, these icons are stored in ROM (apparently in coredll.dll and/or ceshell.dll).

Unfortunately you can't change the icons for those applications.

One (lame) alternative would be to create a small application with a custom icon which calls up the application you want.

I don't know exactly how this works, but if you use the following syntax, you get the today applet with the corresponding icon:

21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,13?\Windows\shellres.dll,-8218

I guess that you have to change the last number (-8218) to get other icons.
