Might this file:
  1a652c4c8c31b80c85d6cbc2b4093060 *hippo.ico
be somehow malformed? My computer BSODs every time I try to view
it in 'irfanview'. This has happened three times in a row.

I tried opening the icon file in gimp-2.2.4, which crashed with:
  winicon.exe caused an Access Violation at location 00402795
  in module winicon.exe Reading from location 00000008.
(no BSOD). Yet the icon displays successfully in 'windows explorer'.

An .ico file actually can cause an application to crash:

That tracker says ms planned to patch the problem, but right now
I'm using XP SP1, so I wouldn't have that patch.
