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. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
