Start Menu Icon

[JamesJ]

I installed new software and pinned the executable to the
start menu. But, Vista displays a generic icon in the start
menu for this program. All other programs pinned to the start
menu display the correct icon.
Any way to get Vista to dispaly the proper icon for this program??

Thanks,
James

You might try, right clicking on the program listing on the start menu,
click on properties, then click on " change icon", browse to your new
program's folder and see if you can select the icon there, then click apply
and ok, see if that might work for you.

That was the first thing I tried.
No button to Change Icon.

Hmm, if you haven't, might try it again ( assuming you are finding the
icon ), and be sure to click on apply, before clicking ok.

I just recently had that problem, and had to do it a couple of times to get
it to take.
About the only thing I can think of...

No good. Actually, though in the Properties General tab
it is showing the correct icon just not in the start menu.

Sorry, I am out of ideas there, perhaps someone else might come along with
other suggestions. You might try emailing the program's support as well to
see if they have any suggestions.

Good luck,

Deleted the db no help.
It's only this one executable. Even when I create a
shortcut and pin that to the start menu I can't change the icon.
The change icon button is there for the shortcut but it will not
alpply the icon to it.

Was the software I installed. Only had aproblem with it's executable.
Uninstalled it and all is fine.

Thanks,
