using copyicon to replace the old magic workbench icon and the snapshooting the new icon and using the following command in shell:

Copy Ram:disk.info envrc/sys/def_ram.info

and on reboot the mwb icon is back

Make sure you copy the icon to SYS:Prefs/Envarc/Sys - the path you quoted above is wrong. Also don't use CopyIcon, as that is used to copy an icon to another one. Just use the normal copy command. So the command you want is:

Copy RAM:disk.info SYS:Prefs/Envarc/Sys/def_ram.info

If that doesn't work, try adding the following line to your user-startup:

Copy SYS:Prefs/Envarc/Sys/def_ram.info RAM:disk.info

That should force the RAM disk to take the new icon on every boot.

im not to sure on the other partitions tho dh0/1/2! if i replace the workbench (dh0) the icon changes fine then on reboot its gone back to the default 3.9 icon :getmad:  

Do other icons still show the PowerIcon even if the volume icons don't? If so then it sounds like it hasn't copied correctly. In OS3.9 you don't need to use CopyIcon. Just single click on the drive, bring up the Information window (which in 3.9 is handled by RAWBInfo) and you will be able to drag the new icon on to the old one in the info window and it will be replaced.

You could add following line to you s-s or u-s after starting env:

Everyone seems to be leaving the "a" out of "envarc" :-) Also, I'm not 100% sure there is an ENVARC: assign, so it's safer to use SYS:Prefs/Envarc to be sure it can find the file.

Can you post your Startup-Sequence, in particular the part where PowerIcons is being run? Maybe it's in the wrong place.

That looks fine. Anything else in User-Startup or WBStartup which is either patching something else to do with icons, or re-launching (and thus disabling) PowerIcons? Also, are you using the latest version of PowerIcons?

If all else fails, I can only recommend using AfA. You get lots of extra benefits over PowerIcons, and you might find it works for you even if PowerIcons doesn't.

AfA is awesome. You won't need PowerIcons, VisualPrefs, or any TTF font hacks - AfA does it all for you :-D
