Shortcuts in windows installation project

Hello!



I have some problems with installation project in Visual Studio 2003.NET. I
created installation project in existing solution. It project will install
windows application on client?s computers. I made shortcut for installed
files in User?s Programs Menu. These files are Microsoft Excel files. They
have xls extension. But when I install application on computer I get simple
icons for these shortcuts. They look like notepad icons. I can set fixed
icon for shortcut, but I cannot set default icon for this type of files what
is installed on client?s computer. It may be Excel 97, Excel XP or Excel
2003. They are a bit different. How can I do this?



Thanks for help.
