I remember when I was in college, I was able to download a small utility that could change the program manager icon.
Some even changed the appearance of the minimized/maximized buttons etc.
As I've forgotten which was which, I wonder if you can recommend a similar utility to me. Want to bring back some memories and also have fun to play and work with windows 3.1
Thanks
Jack

Any resource editor will do it.

A resource editor will change the default program manager icon, but if you want to set custom icons for each different program group, that's a different matter. I used to use a little something called PMIcons, which I've attached for posterity.

There's also a thing called "GrpIcon" that will do the job, but good luck finding a registered version.

I don't ever remember seeing something that could change the minimize/maximize buttons, though.
