Question Colours
Hey guys... I'm running Win2K on 2 seperate PCs at my workplace here. Both are using 1152 x 864 res and are set 32 Bit colour. The problem here is that the icons on PC A are using 32 Bit colours while the icons on PC B seems to be stuck on 256 colours. I've selected the 'Show icons using all possible colours' checkbox in Display Properties> Effects but it's still the same. Any idea, guys?

You can try to increase this registry value to 16 or 24:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop\WindowMetrics Shell Icon BPP
