    Desktop Icon for Software incorrectly displayed


    Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble with a desktop icon that is displaying incorrectly.

    Basically when the shortcut is placed on the desktop, the shortcut icon is displaying a different icon that what it should, however, if I then drag the shortcut into say, a folder, the shortcut icon is then correct.

    I have tried:

    Deleting the Thumbs.db
    Deleting the Icon Cache & Restarting
    Re-installing the Software


    This is only apparent on one of my windows 7 machines, on the other three machines I have the problem does not occur.

    I appreciate any help given.

    Is it one icon in particular or is this a recurring problem ?
    You can manually set the icon for the shortcut after you place it on desktop
    right click>properties>change icon

    It is one icon in particular, The correct icon is displayed when viewing the properties > Change Icon settings, it is just not displaying it on the desktop as expected.
