I was trying to set the icon for Internet Shortcut entry without an

I manually changed the key via Regedit.  While the setting sticks, the
icons remain IE icons.

No, I'm not having a problem getting the shortcuts to work.  By "work",
I mean they open the indicated Web page in SeaMonkey, which is what we
want.

I tried updating the icon in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut.  While
the setting sticks in the registry, the icons on the desktop remain IE
icons.

I checked the checkbox and also made IE my default browser.  Then I
launched SeaMonkey and made it my default browser.  This did not help.

does not stick more than 1-2 seconds.


I'm seeing the same kind of thing, although after seeing the responses 
on this thread, I think I can add a little more to what the symptoms are.


In my particular case, what's happening is that .HTM or .HTML documents 
are showing no icon at all.  If the filename is viewed in the Windows 
Explorer, the type is still shown as "SeaMonkey Document".  If I 
double-click on the file, it correctly opens in Seamonkey.


As with the OP, all the icons in the Start menu are correct, it's only 
HTML documents that aren't showing the correct icon.  I generally don't 
use web shortcuts, but my experience with how HTML files are shown in 
the Windows Explorer imply that it's the same issue.


My assumption is that there's something that's not quite right with 
associations in the Windows registry, that the pointer to the icon isn't 
pointing to the correct icon.  My suspicion is that this is something 
that would resolve, if I uninstall and reinstall Seamonkey, although 
since I'm seeing this one on a secondary machine, this is an 
annoyance-level thing, and I haven't bothered to try that.

If you can live without the IE icon, how about changing the name of the 
SeaMonkey icon to the one the current IE icon has, after changing the IE icon's 
name?

[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-)

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

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.

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

E:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\chrome\icons\default\main-window.ico

Probably unrelated, but every time I install an update for IE all the 
web shortcuts change to IE.  I simply change them and all is well. 
Not sure why that happens either.

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 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.
