[comp.windows.ms] Newcomers questions

Hi windowers!

I just got my pare of windows, and obviously have lots of
questions. 

I have an impression, that W3 besides with being just 
nicelooking girl makes some good things for memory too
(correct me if I am wrong).  When I go to DOS shell, and
check how much memory I have, it says, that all my
extended memory is gone, and converted to expanded.
Does that mean, that my applications which make use of
extended memory will not sense it or W3 somehow will
manage to free some ext. memory for them (uff!) ?

I downloaded recently APORIA.  Seems like a fine
program.  I am wondering if anybody experienced any problem
with it.  It looks too complicated and well refined for 
shareware.

Is anybody aware of good shareware programers editor
for windows.  I mean things like Qedit or similar
with macros and shell escapes.

Last question.  How can I get icons from ICO files
to be shown instead the ones wich come with the
application or in the ICONLIB.EXE.  Other words
is there a way to manage ICONLIB.EXE , to add or
delete icons from it etc.


Thanks a lot.  Gene
