IE Icon Problem...

[DivineLotus]

Greetings,

I know that you can customize the icons used for shortcuts to programs by right-clicking the shortcut, and choosing Properties, then the Shortcut tab and click the Change Icon button to choose a different icon.

The problem that I am having is that the IE default icon is not appearing on my Desktop each time that I save a favorites to my Desktop or to a folder. The icon that does appear is the icon used for "programs unknown".

I would like to reset all of these "unknown program" icons back to the default IE icon without having to right click each and every shortcut that needs to be changed back to the default IE icon...

And each time that I save a favorites to the Desktop I want it to automatically save as the default IE icon.

Your Assistance is GREATLY Appreciated...

Folder Options-->File Types: look for IE shortcuts/favorites, click on "Advanced", change its icon and restart.

Hello,

I followed your instructions but nothing changed.

Did you intall Firefox and uninstall it before?

Yes, you need to go to the Folder Option, and find all the file types with the icon used for "programs unknown" and replace them with the IE one.

I had the same problem and solved it.
