RE: Desktop Shortcuts

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

P.S. My Vista is 64 bit. Could that be the problem ? Thanks,

Hello, I just changed computers and converted from XPHSP2 to VistaHPSP1. It
was so easy to change desktop shortcut icons in XP and have groups of icons
for banking, sports sites, windows sites, etc. On my Vista shortcut
"Discussions in MS" icon that I want to change to a Windows Butterfly icon, I
right click icon > properties > change icon and the system32/SHELL32.dll
window pops up with the 67 rows of 4 icon choices. I click the Butterfly icon
in row 30 and click OK. System 32 window disappears and properties window
shows Butterfly icon. I click OK. Window vanishes but did not change my
desktop shortcut icon. Why didn't MS fix this problem in Service Pack 1 ? I
read some posts on it, one to change to Classic View....didn't work. Other
posts seemed to be written for geeks with degrees in Nuclear Software
Physics. Is there a simle way to change these icons ???
