I can not change the icon of IE 7 Shortcuts?

S

Sam S.

When I send shortcuts from IE 7 to desktop, they all appear as the big e
icon. In previous versions of IE, I could change the icon for easy visual
identification, via the properties tab. How can I change icons in IE 7?

PS: I selected the Office Setup Discussion Group, because there is no IE
discussion group in the drop down list. Please forward accordingly.

thanks,

What "drop-down list"? If you expand the English discussion groups, and then
expand the MSN and Internet groups, there's Internet Explorer
General.....which is the IE7 group....

Let me amplify:
I just upgraded to IE 7 a few days ago.

Go to any website
File>Send>Shortcut to Desktop
Icon with big e appears on desktop
Right Click on the icon
Properties>Change Icon …
From Change Icon window select an icon
Click OK
Click Apply
Click OK
Result: the initial big e icon flickers, but does not get updated.

This worked in my previous version of IE.
Thanks: Sam

What I found in a search was that by changing the icons to normal size
the old saved icons re-appear. Not perfect as I do like large icons
but at least they are there and you can keep IE7. Hopefully there will
be a fix to this soon.
