Can't change desktop icons

[Barbara]

Can't change desktop icons for website links (for example the link to yahoo
mail); the icons are the standard webpage icons. I was able to use other
icons until recently. Now I have a group of boring and indistinguishable
icons for my web links. The only new program was an upgrade to Media Center
..
Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks

Barbara

Try this Kelly tweak and the icons might remember their changes.
