Windows 7 - Changing pinned icons??

I just noticed that it seems impossible to customize the icons of programs pinned to the taskbar/superbar.

You can change the icon, and any other instances of it will appear properly, but the one pinned to the taskbar is the one contained in the EXE and nothing else.

This is terrible, the taskbar/superbar is a lot like the OSX dock, but what good is it to have these nice big icons if you can't even customize them?

Please tell me someone has found a work-around for this.

Create a shortcut. Customize the icon. Pin the shortcut.

Not true
This is what i did;
You need to unpin the program from the taskbar, find the program in the Start menu, change the icon, open it back up, then pin the open instance.
Make sense? LOL



Also not true (in my eyes anyways)

doesn't work, only the shortcut thing worked for me.

I used Antmans method, worked sweet - thanks!!
