Don't do it
Jonathan HuffmanJuly 11, 2012
Pros
there is NONE
Cons
as soon as I finished installing it, I ran the software and as soon as I double clicked the icon my computer crashed. it took me forever( atleast it seemed like it) to uninstall it and all the extra add ons it came with, from my new computer. do what you will, but heed this warning..DON'T DOWNLOAD IT. or you may be sorry

A Useful Tool for Icon Management
mkpattSeptember 11, 2010
Pros
While this program is not the most advanced tool, it certainly is capable enough to manage icon packages and set up your own themes. I've had no problems with it and have used it on XP machines. Have not tried it on Vista or Win 7.
Cons
It doesn't have a lot in the way of icon editing tools, but then its not primarily an editing program.
Summary
A good tool to use in conjunction with other programs.
Many tools NOT available for XP users

Pros
Cons
It may be fine for other OS's but is very limited for windows XP users so I would recommend other icon tools that are better suited to XP.
