Greetings. I'm wondering if anyone may know of a registry tweak by which one can
change the IE icon used for internet shortcuts. (After haplessly installing the
MS Service Pack 6 to "update" my W2K OS, I discovered to my dismay that microsoft
is indeed as insidious as ever in its self-promotion ad nauseum.)
Having run a search on this site, I read article 04-405 on the subject. Although
it is found under the W98 section, it was indicated to be just as applicable to W2K.
However, although I found the appropriate registry keys to modify/remove as this
article suggests, I don't have - as then indicated in the instructions - a Folder
Options under my IE browser's View menu.
As an alternative approach, I have tried to change the icons for HTML and URL filetypes
in the Advanced Mode of the control panel's folder options, but to no avail; although
an icon of my choosing appears in the Advanced dialog box, once OK is clicked it
doesn't in fact replace the IE icon.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated! Graci.
