This is for XP (sorry if irrelevant: brainstrugglin ).
but the method should apply.
Use regedit to find
[HKCR\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]
Change the value data for:
(Default) REG_EXPAND_SZ
From:
shdoclc.dll,-190
To: (I have a LH reshacked iexplore)
C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe
Or etc...
Click ok to accept
Test by a Right click on desktop & select Refresh.
done ya
