SUMMARY
=======

An MS-DOS-based application that has been added to the LOAD= line of the WIN.INI
file may not have the same icon as the same MS-DOS application started from
Windows version 3.1 desktop.

MORE INFORMATION
================

In Windows 3.1, when an MS-DOS-based application is minimized it retains the
same icon as portrayed on the desktop.

If the same MS-DOS-based application is started from the LOAD= line and from the
desktop, and if both are minimized, the one started from the LOAD= line may have
a different icon than the one started from the desktop.
