Hey Arc and bongo, sorry it took a while to reply. I appreciate all the help! While my internet was out for the last couple of days, i took some time to experiment and figure out the issue. I've found a way to replace the hideous missing icon file on my taskbar at least. Check out the pic below:
it pretty much solved the problem. sorry for all the troubles on my earlier posts lol
