InternetShortcut icon

[Rick Merrill]

How can I change the Icon used for
an "Internet Shortcut" that would appear for any InternetShortcut?

 

[Rick Merrill]

Right click on the shortcut icon, Properties, Change icon, use one from the
display or go to the folder where you could have a custom icon.

I have known how to do that for a single icon, but I want
to change the default-icon for InternetShortcuts.

(I'm willing to modify the registry...)

 

[Rick Merrill]

I need to be taught; where is the InternetShortcuts?

If you run regedit and search for "InternetShortcut" you will see
a number of places where the "default icon" is specified, but I can't
seem to find the right one!

An internetshortcut is what you get when you drag and drop from
the internet explorer address-bar.

Hey, that's a keeper! Thanks, Alan! I would never have thought of that.
