You were right on half of what you suggested, mate, I'm aware of how to change the *text*, what I'm trying to do is change the icon it uses, I've done some digging, and its shown that I might have to edit the mirc exe itself to get what I want to happen, so iono if I'll be able to get further help on that endeavour here...heh
