Wrong IE Icon on Server2003

The desktop IE icon on my Windows 2003 Server is the wrong one. (It has the
Scheduled Tasks icon). I've tried TweakUI repair, and tried looking for the
iconcache file to delete it, but I couldn't find it.

It annoys me as I have it running like a dream in every other aspect and
this stops it from being 100% perfect. Any ideas?

Hi
I'm presuming it's the same as XP
Right click Icon > Properties-Shortcut- Change Icon

This would work on a shortcut, but not the IE desktop icon which has special
properties. It takes you straight into Control Panel Internet Properties.

Thanks. I have found

[HKCR\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]

so assume that it must be a typo. And the only entry is

Name:(Default)
Type: REG_SZ
Value: shdoclc.dll,-190

So either this is another typo, or the value is already correct. Shall I
make a new REG_EXPAND_SZ entry?

My Mistake,

Should have read,
[HKCR\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]
Name: (Default)
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value: shdoclc.dll,-190

And yes it is a REG_EXPAND_SZ

--------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]

Cheers. I tried your reg file and it replaced the REG_SZ value with your
identical REG_EXPAND_SZ value. Then I rebooted the server, but the icon
hasn't changed back to the correct one.

I then added the original REG_SZ value alongside the REG_EXPAND_SZ value.
They seem to be co-existing even though they have the same name. Then I
tried TweakUI Icon Repair, and still the same wrong icon.

Do you think that .dll file might be corrupted or something? I noticed that
the QuickLaunch IE icon is correct, but it is connected to iexplore.exe.

I would import my earlier registration entry and the check these two
locations,

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}]
and
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}]

If there is a key called "DefaultIcon" key, then delete the key. The above
registration locations will override the HKCR registration reference.

Also check if these values are present:

HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]
Name: (Default)
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value: shdoclc.dll,-190

The HKLM registration reference will also override the HKCR registration
reference. You can modify the registration entry I attached earlier to
import these keys if missing or wrong.

Excellent, that worked. There was the same wrong value in all three of
those locations.

Thanks a lot for your help!

This may be better posted in a Server 2003 group.

Thanks for your input but the matter has been solved. There aren't any 2003
groups anyway, just groups dealing with the various things to do with the
server abilities. In this case it is just the same as XP.
