BUG #: 2716

SYMPTOMS
========

After you migrate a program item for an MS-DOS-based application using
an icon from Windows 3.1 PROGMAN.EXE, the icon may appear black when
running minimized in Windows NT.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around the problem, change the icon's Program Item Properties
setting to use an icon from Windows NT PROGMAN.EXE (32-bit).

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1
and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.

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

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

1. In Windows 3.0 or 3.1, or Windows for Workgroups, associate a
   PROGMAN.EXE (16-bit) icon to an MS-DOS-based application and then 
   exit Windows.

2. In Windows NT, (assuming the Migrate option was chosen during the
   original installation), create a new user account named Test.

3. Log on as Test and when prompted, choose to migrate groups.

4. Run the MS-DOS-based application's icon created in Windows 3.x and
   press ALT+ENTER to run the application in a window.

5. Minimize the application.

The application's minimized icon will appear as a black box.
