Magic Desk icon is an icon format associated with Magic Desk, a graphical menu system for DOS developed by Virtual Magic Software.
Magic Desk is spelled "MagicDesk" in some third-party descriptions.
Magic Desk is the successor of ToyBox -- see ToyBox icon. Unfortunately, while the ToyBox and Magic Desk icon formats are often indistinguishable, they use different color palettes, and must be interpreted differently.
[edit] Identification
Known files start with 0x1f 0x1f, and are 515 bytes in size.
The byte at offset 2 is observed to be either 0x03 or 0xff.
Note that this does not necessarily distinguish the format from ToyBox icon.

- Magic Desk v3.01 (1993)
