iTunes Taskbar Icon

Hey Guys,

I recently fresh installed W7 and am loving it but i have noticed that itunes would normaly be only one icon that is active on the taskbar, even if the program is open, i would only see one icon there. But now when i open it, it opens up another icon, so theres two on the task bar, one thats the app thats open and the other one being the icon i click to launch. Anyway i can get it back so that its just one icon that is in use and not two?

Sorry if it doesnt make much sense, i can take a screendump if needed.

but what if the taskbar shortcut is a custom icon?

I've actually struggled with this problem for quite some time.

Due to some gadgets in my Windows and, frankly, I don't know exactly what else, every time the iTunes would update, it would go back to the original icon and I had real difficulties fixing it back... everything I tried ended up with the same "duplicate icon in the task bar" thing...

I just found something that might solve this problem: with the "duplicate" iTunes opened (the altered icon pinned to the taskbar and itunes and its original icon opened), I pinned down the functional itunes.
Then, I opened the shortcut to the taskbar pins in windows Explorer (C:\Users\*your user*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar), deleted the 'non-functioning' icon of iTunes, changed the name and icons to the remaining iTunes shortcut... and voilá!
The only thing I needed to pay attention to was to keep the iTunes opened during the whole process...

Hope this might help someone who's having similar problems.
