Starting at the menu bar on My Computer, I went to [Tools > Folder Options] and selected the File Types tab. On the Folder Options window, I selected the Internet Shortcut entry and then the Advanced button. On the Edit File Type window, I selected the Change Button (which was indeed active). That allowed me to navigate to the SeaMonkey executable (seamonkey.exe), in which the icon is embedded. -- David E.
