Does anyone know what this old Windows icon is for?

Totally stumped. 100 internet points to anyone that can identify it!

Nope. No idea what program that's for. Where did you get the image from? Surely it must have had what program it was for where you got it from?
When you say old do you know if it is windows 3.x.x or w95 or w98?
I'd go with pacman too! Or some sort of warning, broken: link, shortcut, folder, file.
Perhaps it's a cricket game, as it looks like 3 stumps with a batsman above them.

We have a winner!!
A thousand thank-yous AxG !
Are they really expecting kids to memorise program icons? What a mental waste of time! Although it does explain why we see IT graduates nowadays with no idea of how to write a simple recursive loop, or understanding of boolean logic.
Your son should tell them he prefers to use his brain cells for memorising stuff that might actually come in useful.
This!!:eek:
What is the point in it? No wonder you get people who know how to use Facebook and MS Word but no idea of how computers work or what to do when it goes wrong. I don't spend all day sitting at my Mac memorising every icon OSX has. I know what icons are in my Dock because I put them there. I didn't have to memorise them to know or to use the machine.
Each will be described properly, so as well as this Office suite there will be zip compression and Powerpoint and all the uses of each, so it's actually a quick way for the teacher to plan the lessons according to the abilities and knowledge of each pupil. I think it's impressive... so far...
Do they actually teach how computers work and stuff like that or is it just MS Office? Were all the icons from Windows or were there any Mac ones?
