The Local directory folder holding all the saved emails & folders. There was a problem as the file was available to see & not hidden. Found some 30+ normal files mixed in the folder. Have taken out the files and either delete them or put them back into the correct section. Then noticed that the MSF File type were showing the Internet Express Icon which I know is incorrect (should be a plain white & nothing else.) Tried to find a list with all the different type of file Icons that are used, I did see one list but no plain MSF Icon. Tried to find the list with all the different types again, but, no luck. They are out there I know, but, I do not know how to get them in the first place. Are they Icons or Mimes that open the MSF File (.msf) ? have almost 500 files/folders. Only the MSF File (.msf) are affected the second half of the two part file is okay. How can I obtain the Icon (thumbnail size) that I believe could resolve my problem. Sorry if my terminology for the different items is not so good. The individual named files need this plain white Icon as it is the means of activation the properties of it. Unfortunately, the picture I had has not been loaded correct. Can you help me without it? Hopefully you can help me, many thanks in advance. Stuart. (superstu43@gmail.com)
