Can't Change Shortcut's Icon

These shortcuts are pif shortcuts (shortcuts to msdos programs).
"Right-Click/Properties/Program/Change Icon" is the only "icon-changing"
capability I see, but it has no effect on the shortcut's icon. It apparently
changes some other icon associated with the *.bat files themselves. I cannot
figure out how to change the shortcut's icon. I tried copying the target
icon into the same directory containing the pif shortcuts, but this didn't
do anything to the shortcut icon.

Thoughts?
