Help! Internet Shortcut icons remaining as default windows icons

Thursday, September 7, 2006 by cavalierex | Discussion: IconPackager

Greetings everyone.

Anybody else having trouble with IconPackager not properly changing the icon for internet shortcuts? They still display the default Explorer document's 'e' icon. Very frustrating.

Local .htm and .html files are properly substituted, but the internet shortcuts are not. Doesn't matter if they are created by Firefox or by Internet Explorer or by creating a new shortcut on the desktop via the right-click menu -- They are all the sucky Explorer 'e' icon!

Rebuilding the cache, etc., does nothing.  I'm using the latest version of Icon Packager; Windows XP SP2.

I'd appreciate any help.  Thanks!

does Icon Packager 3.20 also have this problem? If not, I am planning to downgrade.

Hello,

 

Had this problem for years on various XP systems.  Still do have this problem.  IP does not apply skins to desktop icons for internet shortcuts, or program start shortcuts.  Sure would like a fix.  Without fixing this annoying problem it makes no sense to upgrade to version 5.  Thanks.
