    Cool Setting up custom CUI on multiple computers

    I have been trying to set up a custom .cui to put on the network so that everyone can load the same standard dashboard to start with. Everything works great, until I load it on another computer and then I loose half of the icons in the dashboard. The icons are still displaying on the toolbars. The icons are still defined in the command properties and displaying in the command properties. The tools still work when i click on the blank icons but there are no icons. This happens whether i load it as a partial .cui or I load it as an enterprising .cui in the profile?!?!?

    Any ideas would be great !!

    On your working station, make sure you copy the .mnr file associated with your .cui file to the network location. Also, make sure your custom CUI filenames and the MenuGroup name inside the CUI are unique.

    Also ensure that the icons *.bmp, etc... locations are within the search path. I have had to go in and manually verify the location on a few icons in the past to make them show again.

    I couldn't get it to work with the .mnr and .mnl files. I also couldn't get the icons to appear on the dashboard by adding the same image again. It just wouldn't. I have managed to get the icons to appear but only by editing the main (adt.cui) file and then copying all the files in the support folder. If i don't take all the files i still don't get all the icons?!? It works now but I can't just create my own .cui and then put it out there ?!? I can only wonder as to what is causing this.
    Also does anyone know what file the icons are in nowadays I can't seem to find them. I have seen that they could be in quite a few different .dll's but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer?

    How did you start the custom CUI file?
