What procedure are you using to change the icons? If you are using 'r-click on the icon, select properties, click on the icon, select a new one' it seems really strange that it would change anything except the selected desktop link (icon).
I managed to change the desktop icons OK, but when I changed the Opera one, the Thunderbird and Firefox both changed to the big-O, too, presumably because they are classed as executable browser types? Curious. What am I doing wrong, please?

To me too.
BTW, is this the CrashedAgain from LFX? (Seem to remember oldgeezer from somewhere, too.......)
yep, same CrashedAgain. I'm CrashedAgain everywhere I can be as I'm also enough of an old geezer to not want to have to remember too many handles.
Yes - right click to change the icon. I can change any one of these to the correct icon from the apps list but all of them are changed upon restarting. There must be some way of pinning a specific icon to a specific application rather than a type of app to which the icon defaults??

This is not the same as :Originally Posted by oldgeezer
For the former, (..all are changed on restarting), what mode is your HDinstall (Debian style or Knoppix style). Knoppix style resets a lot of stuff to default settings with each restart, not sure if it resets desktop icons but maybe it does.Originally Posted by oldgeezer
For the latter, (...change one & it changes others), I still don't understand how this could occur. Each desktop 'link' is it's own separate file & they are not related in any way. You can view the actual file...rt-click, open with a text editor (Kwrite or whatever). You can also edit the settings this way.
They were intended to mean the same thing!
I used the knx-hdinstall routine since I experienced endless difficulties with the knoppix-installer script.
I don't understand what is going on here, hence my enquiry!
Any more suggestions, please?

I remember having the same thing happen when I've dragged icons from the menu to the desktop and choosing copy. If I created the desktopicons from scratch they didn't change. This was with 3.3 september something.
I have a somewhat similar problem. Changed icons as wel as changed icon-names are not saved. After the next boot the original icons and names return.
Have you checked ~/.kde/Autostart/ for something like sorticons?
Not sure about the folder or filename??? (I'm in windows)
