With SeaMonkey closed, I made IE my default browser. Then I launched SeaMonkey and made it my default browser. That did not help. I finally opened My Computer, selected [Tools > Folder Options] on the menu bar, and selected the File Types tab. Near the top of the list of file types, Internet Shortcut already had the blue SeaMonkey icon. But near the bottom of the list I found the file type URL with the "unknown" icon. I could not correct this until I deleted it entirely and then recreated it as a new file type. Now it works. Since I had not touched Folder Options in some time, I still question whether something in the installation of SeaMonkey 2.14 might have corrupted the icon setting. -- David E.
