[insert standard disclaimer about messing with the registry can lead to a totally borked PC] Depends - is the shortcut a .lnk or .url? On my PC, HKCR\.url points to HKCR\InternetShortcut which has a DefaultIcon key. Save the following as something like urlicon.reg and import with regedit: ---------- begin : cut here ---------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\SeaMonkey\\seamonkey.exe" ---------- end : cut here ---------------- But I still think that if, as you stated in your original msg, the icon changes back to the IE icon in 1-2 seconds there's a process active on your wife's PC that's doing the changing.
