Thanks for the help. Now my RAM disk icon is where I want it to be; copied
the snapshoted icon back. I´ll try this one also to se how it works.

Clicktofront had a bad tooltype configuration of the keys. Is working now.
The problem with the def_icons is still there. The def_disk icon appears
every time an Amiga disk is inserted and the old black & white floppy disk
icon icon when msdos disks are. If def_disk.info is renamed all floppies
appear with the old b&w icon. Strange thing is that de def_icons for the
DFx: and PCx: devices are loaded to Env: and seems ok in an icon editor.
Must them be renamed to something else or a tooltype changed?
Live long and prosper
