SYMPTOMS
After you create a new Program Manager icon, and then modify the icon's
program item properties, and the icon changes to the default Program
Manager icon.

This problem occurs when one or more of the directories reference in the
Program Item Properties Command Line has one or more spaces in it's name
(for example, C:\MY DIR\MYFILE.EXE).
NOTE: If you specify an executable program in a directory with spaces on
the command line entry of the program item properties, the location and
file name are enclosed with quotation marks: "c:\a test\<filename>.exe"
STATUS
