Well, not exactly that problem, but something similiar.  I've got AmigaForever (3.9) running PowerIcons, and I can set the icons on my Workbench (RAM: WORK: SYSTEM: etc..) and they work with the new PNG icons.  But when I reboot, they are back to the old glow icons, however, I can select the icon properties and it still shows the PowerIcons image inside of the box.. THAT is driving me nuts.

Yeah, I guess so.  But I didn't copy anything by hand.  I always opened the icon properties and dropped the PNG icon there.  It shows it on the Workbench until I reboot, then it reverts back..  But I don't want to hijack this thread and make it about my issues.  Just saying that I have a similiar kind of problem.

@Thomas

You are correct.  I did read the instructions, but apparently not well enough (or it just wasn't sinking in). I had PowerIcons starting from WBStartup (Don't do that!).  I put this line in my user-startup:

Run >NIL: Work:PowerIconsInstall/PowerIcons

and now it works just as I want.  The icons stay in place evertime.  The only thing I had to do extra was once setting the icon to use on the Ram: was to

Copy Ram:disk.info system:prefs/env-archive/sys/def_ram.info

:-)

Thanks for making me look at that again Thomas.  And thanks for the other suggestions Framiga.

Now, back to LordDefs problem...
