[insert standard disclaimer about messing with the registry can lead
to a totally borked PC]

Depends - is the shortcut a .lnk or .url?  On my PC, HKCR\.url points
to HKCR\InternetShortcut which has a DefaultIcon key.  Save the
following as something like urlicon.reg and import with regedit:

-- begin : cut here 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\SeaMonkey\\seamonkey.exe"

--   end : cut here 

But I still think that if, as you stated in your original msg, the
icon changes back to the IE icon in 1-2 seconds there's a process
active on your wife's PC that's doing the changing.

I have an Internet Explorer icon on my desktop. When I right mouse click 
on it and select properties I get Internet Properties and when I click 
on the Programs tab, there is a place at the very bottom of that window 
to click on: Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the 
default browser.


Be sure IE is closed and then click on the above and restart IE.

Nothing else has worked for you. I don't know why this would but you 
never know. If it doesn't work, are you sure you just can't live with 
the IE icons?  8-)

Re: SM 2.3.1 email and Google Desktop Search

[Steve B.]

I am part way home.  After going back to SM2.0.14 (see below) and 
suffering through several crashes because plug-ins were not compatible 
with the earlier version, GDS is now indexing my new emails but is still 
ignoring the thousands of old ones, even though they are in the same 
folders as some of the new ones.

I tried that function from both TweakUI 98 and TweakUI XP (having
modified the former to work under Windows XP).  Neither of them helped.

Ah, sorry. Like one of these?
http://imageshack.us/f/692/screenshot1jzy.png/
I dragged the google to the desktop. (Sorry, I don't use Windows much
any more).

If yours is reverting to IE, then maybe a regedit?
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/57176-45-shortcuts-desktop-work

OK think I kind of found another method. This is similar to the one
mentioned earlier by another poster.

Open Registry Editor and navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut
Now, backup this key and then save as a REG file
Then, delete 'InternetShortcut' key
Open up Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Programs
Choose "Reset Web Settings"


That user of course was having issue with his not going to IE, but might
be worth having a look.

I tried that.  It did not work.

I also extracted the icon from seamonkey.exe on my own PC, using
IconJack32, and transferred the ICO file to my wife's PC.  I then tried
pointing to that icon.  It still did not work.

1.  I open My Computer.

2.  On the My computer window menu bar, I select [Tools > Folder Options].

3.  On the Folder Options window, I selet the File Types tab.

4.  In the "Registered file types" scroll area, I scroll to the entry
for Internet Shortcut.

5.  I select the Advanced button.

6.  On the resulting Edit File Type window, I select the Change Icon
button.

7.  On the resulting Change Icon window, I select the Browse button and
navigate to seamonkey.exe.

8.  I select the SeaMonkey icon and the OK button, the OK button on the
Edit File Type window, and the OK button on the Folder Options window.

9.  On the desktop, I right-click and select Refresh from the pull-down
context menu.

Note that the SeaMonkey icon shows for the entry for Internet Shortcut
in step #4, on the Edit File Type window in step #6, and as the selected
icon in the Change Icon window in step #7.  It just does not get applied
to the actual Internet shortcuts.

That does not happen on my own PC when I update IE.  On my wife's PC,
I've never been able to get the Web shortcuts to use anything other than
the IE icon.

No, I do not have this problem with the Start menu.  It's Web shortcuts
to specific Web pages.  Some of these are on the desktop, and some are
in various folders.

Yes, you are correct.  It's just that I really do not like IE.  When
servicing my wife's PC (e.g., backups, software updates), it annoys me
to see the IE icon for Web shortcuts when I see the SeaMonkey icon for
the same shortcuts on my own PC.

I may be able to help. Before i read this thread, I posted my situation
under a new thread/subject "Missing Bookmarks".   You gave  me some ideas
for testing.  i  have some earlier stuff.

I'm now using SM 2.3 but my current profile has been thru upgrading from
2.3.1 to 2.3.3 (the upgrade was limited in that SM's help said I was still
using 2.3.1 - and the recommended fix did not change anything).

Try changing her icon from the one in SeaMonkey.exe.  Browse to SeaMonkey,
Chrome, Icons, Default, and select one from there. Might work.

This actually sounds like your bookmarks are probably slightly corrupted 
and lost forever (Unless you saved backups of your profile)


Sharing a profile between Firefox and SeaMonkey directly is bad, the 
system is designed to only ever have one application accessing the 
profile files at a time, which can explain this issue.


If you need to share bookmarks/etc. between Firefox and SeaMonkey, 
instead of using the same profile, you should use "Sync" That will allow 
it to sync your bookmark lists and many prefs between the two applications.

Switching back to the IE icon after 1-2 seconds sounds like she's got
a background process running that switches the icons back.  You might
be able to compare the services you have running vs. services active
on her PC to figure out what it is.

What are you doing to change the icons on your wife's PC?

Are you refering the Start menu? If so, right-click on Start, select
Properties, Customize, and then select 'SeaMonkey' on shortcuts.

Can anyone suggest how to make the SeaMonkey icon stick on my wife's PC

Can we assume it's just a bad icon thing, the links do open in SM?

Try setting IE as default, then SM.

If that doesn't help, the only other way I know is getting your hands 
dirty and correct the Windows registry. I cannot give you exact steps 
there, though, since it's quite elaborate a task.

Web Shortcuts and the SeaMonkey Icon

[David E. Ross]

My wife an I both use Windows XP SP3.  We both have SeaMonkey 2.3.3
marked as our default browsers.

On my PC, Web shortcuts on my desktop and in folders have the blue
SeaMonkey icon.  On my wife's PC, the same shortcuts have the IE icon.
We both have SeaMonkey as our default browser.  I have repeatedly tried
to set the SeaMonkey icon for the shortcuts on my wife's PC, but that
does not stick more than 1-2 seconds.

Can anyone suggest how to make the SeaMonkey icon stick on my wife's PC
for Web shortcuts?

You need to close the browser(s) and mail program(s) as well,
otherwise we cannot be sure whether Seamonkey or some other
program is to blame.  From the look of the screenshot,
Seamonkey is an unlikely candidate (it looks like no
Seamonkey window I have ever seen), but since you
raised the matter on the Seamonkey list, I have to assume
that you believe that Seamonkey may be in some way involved.

So, close /everything/ (other than the offending window)
and then re-post the results.

For some reason ChatZilla is installed as an extension in my SM 2.3.3,
but it hasn't displayed the problem you describe.

Is it in your extensions? Enabled?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/chatzilla/



I'm still waiting for about:addons to display anything, just the
"Loading" icon...I'll get back to you!!



Interesting, when it did fill out, I clicked on the "Browse all Add-ons" 
link and in the list that displayed, Chatzilla wasn't listed!!


(Chatzilla still available today!)

Re: For those who still use old SM v2.0.x's web browser, do you use its real user agent (UA) or fake user agent?

Ant, when I was using SM 2.0.x, I just used the word "Firefox" in my UA,
I found that was enough to fool the websites that look at the UA.

Try, in the address bar, "about:config", and if you accept the risk,
then
in the filter bar enter "useragent", click on the screen somewhere,
select
"New"->"String" and call it something like
"general.useragent.extra.seamonkey.firefox" and give it a value of "not
firefox" and you can give it a version number if you want.


Interesting.even though I have this pref showing in my SM 2.3.3
about:config, my UA doesn't show the "not firefox" at all.

Is this because, at Edit->Preferences->Advanced->HTTP Networking, I have
the "Advertise Firefox compatibility" de-selected?? Or is the pref I
mentioned totally ignored now??


Yes, it is ignored now

Thanks for this, Stan.
