   4. Open Paintbrush to edit the icon.

   5. Press Shift+Insert twice to paste the icon into Paintbrush.

   6. Use the Paintbrush cutting tool to cut the desired icon; then
      press Ctrl+X to close Paintbrush.

   7. Close all applications.

   8. Open the Settings notebook of the program where you want to place
      the new icon.

   9. Select the General tab.
