Windows Explorer Icon - need someone to check on pls

Hi guys,

For reasons I will explain if I do have a problem:

Can someone tell me which "Open" Icon is displayed in their Windows Explorer menu bar (to the right of "Organize") when the following two items are selected (single clicked) within Windows Explorer:

>C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
(Mine shows a generic type icon, white with a blue band at the top and some verticle bars in the body)

>C:\Users\Your User Name\Favorites\select any bookmark (url)
(Mine shows a house with a blue roof, the dropdown arrow show Internet "Browser" vs Explorer)

Thanks for your help

i get the same as you.

looks like a bug - it isn't just your system. :)

This is what I get,

thanks Brink - i shoulda known you had a tutorial already prepared to fix it!

Thanks guys for the response to the 1st location, can I have your feedback on the 2nd location's icon also? (the house with the blue roof one).

Brink, as respects the .exe fix - this a is rather elaborate solution. So is this "programing" Windows Explorer to do what Microsoft forgot to do, or is this fixing something that has gone wrong or been corrupted with my/our Windows 7 systems?

I note by your response to others in your original post that this process will basically show the same icon for all .exe files - correct?

Regarding my "house with the blue roof" icon, is this an error? If so, do you have a fix for it?

Thanks - this site is on the ball !

Thanks for the fix Shawn. It's been bothering me for some time.
