	<br /> As explained in the section about [[~~icons~~.~~htm~~#~~default_icn~~ organizing, editing/creating icons]], there are 12 icons which come as part of TOS 2.06 itself, but are replaced whenever a "DESKICON.RSC" file is used. To keep the correct order of the default file-assignments you should start off any "DESKICON.RSC" with those 12 icons, then add your icons after these.		<br /> As explained in the section about [[Adding,_editing_and_creating_icons_for_TOS_2.06#The_12_default_icons_in_TOS\|organizing, editing/creating icons]], there are 12 icons which come as part of TOS 2.06 itself, but are replaced whenever a "DESKICON.RSC" file is used.
