How do I use standard icons for Microsoft Word & Internet Explorer??

ObjectDock keeps putting them back to their own icons.

I can't seem to use just the standard icons for Microsoft Word and Internet Explorer. As soon as I drag the Internet Explorer exe onto the bar, it automatically changes it to the 3D purple globe icon. I can change it to something else entirely, but can't seem to just change it to the standard blue E (which is what I want).

Same thing with Microsoft Word, it changes it to the 3D version of the icon.

Help!
Zozooo!

Right click on the icon, select Dock Entry Properties, then click on the Change Image button.

I do that, but the original Word icon isn't in the list.

I choose BROWSE and go to the winword.exe file, figuring it will pull the icon from there, but it reverts back to the 3 dimensional icon for some reason.

There are special icons associated with some files (its anoying). You need find appimages (documents and setting\username\local settings\application data\stardock\objectdock plus) delete the entries that refer to the programs you want to use the defaults for.
