Each of my games is in a folder of its own in "Mark:Games/Folders". Within Mark:Games I then have an icon for each game which uses IconX as its default tool, and launches a script like this:
CD Mark:Games/Folders/Pushover
WBRun Pushover
This way, I can keep each game in its own folder for ease of management, but not have to go in to the folder and then run the game. I just double click the icon and the game loads.
This has been working great, but when I installed PowerIcons I changed all the icons from NewIcons to custom made box scan icons. Now when I launch the game using the PowerIcon the machine hangs and reboots itself.
I copied the "script" icon (the one I click to launch the game) and then changed the copied one back to a NewIcon and it launched fine.
All the games with PowerIcons are doing the same thing. The ones with NewIcons run without a hitch.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

Just a follow up - I have just changed the stack on a couple of the launcher icons to 20000 (from 4096) and those games now launch consistently without crashing. Still none the wiser as to why this happened, but I seem to have found a workaround.
