Every single MSWinXPSP2 PC from the day IE7 was officially deployed has one
huge but tiny problem, as many knows also on this Discussion Groups to
change
default and for many years know icon for all .url Icon Shortcuts, for
e.g.,
in Start Menu to some Icon Shortcut "not recognizable association".
I allready read and try everithing that is mentioned in ".url icon" 8
posts
here and nothing helps on more than one PC tryings...
I repeat once more, it is not problem with some favicon here, it is a
problem when the all .url Shortcut icons is Start Menu from the day that
IE7
is installed to the present date is changed to this "nice icon" easiliy
and
the most simply described with common language, when Windows OS has some
extension of some file but still not reffer / associate to anything of the
software that sup****t that kind of format yet.
So', how this "not associated" icon look: Well, it is a first icon picture
in the upper left (corner) side of the window when you, for example goes
to
change some icon and look some another, but do this into default location
for
that, and that will be on MSWinXPSP2 the:
"SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
The first icon shown here in the upper left part of the "Change icon"
window
is the exact picture how is all .url icon changed after IE7 is installed
and
to the present date.
And, finally, what is this ".url icon" means, and why we call that as .url
icon...
Well, if you install, for e.g. werry well known "SiSoft Sandra"
Benchmarking
software. You will get normally with this installation a few Shortcut
icons
in Start Menu. First, it will be an icon Shortcut for the Sandra
executable
it self. Rest few icons will be Shortcuts to SiSoft Sandra Web page - it
ends
with .url extension if you go to check "Properties" on that links here.
In IE6, this all .url Shortcut icons in Start Menu was associate with IE6
default icon -An "e "sign....
In IE7, this all .url Shortcut icons in Start Menu are associate with this
mentioned icon that is shown as the first upper left icon in SHELL32.dll /
"Change Icon" Window.
The offul thing is even more ironic, when all this kind or .url Shortcuts
(for every single installed Software on that particullar PC), in Start
Menu
have the same problem, and any new installed Software of any kind on every
PC
that has IE7 installed... All this .url Shortcuts is changed to this
not-associtaed icon - first upper left icon in SHELL32.dll / "Change Icon"
Window.
So, what I am force to do from IE7 was brought on the market.
I manually need and force to change every single .url icon to downest icon
in the "Change icon" window, but using this adress: C:/Program
Files/Internet
Explorer/iexplore.exe .
It is a boring, samefull thing to do all the times, all this months, on
all
PC's, etc...
What I hate the most, nobady did not resolve efficient / permanatelly this
problem yet, and to be worse, every single new installed software I need
to
do all this Change Icon procedure again, again, again...
Ironicly, I think that is a problem with some nice and so easy registry
change input, but I am not so experianced to find it by myself.
If someone still does not understand what it is this .url icon and why we
called like that, or what it is this "NO association" icon or similar as I
called it, I will try to make it clear once more as soon I get any Reply
on
this all here...
To be apsolutelly honest, I sincerely doubt that nobady from the
professionals did not see this kind of problem just every single time
after
IE7 isntalled on any MSWinXPSP2 based PC. This problem is so iritating,
anoying and instantly reviled that I cannot believe that people cannot
understand what users talking about on so mutch forums over Net about this
for about a 1 year in the past!!!
The most difficult is explained here is, what is this .url icon and what
is
this icon not associated with anything...
Well, like I allready said, I will try do desribe this problem if anyone
answered and still do not understand. This is not hurd to explain, but, we
users lack of expert terminology and use common termines instead. I try to
described with "picture conotation" insetad this time and example with
Sandra
and etc... :-)
I'll hope it helps :-)
Finally, like I also said, I allready read and try anything described on
".url icon 8 posts" here on this Discussion Groups, so' if anybody has
some
other idea, or magic stick how to resolve this in one simple way, I will
be
thankfull for a year time - and that is a time that I hanging on with this
problem, and every single friend, persona that I know and talking about
this
litlle bugy thing, anyone does not know how to resolve this on proper way
:-)
We are just useing cheapest cheats on Earth to resolve this manually, but
we
all feel like stupid ones...
THANKS EVERBODY FOR ANY HELP AND ADVICE IN ADVANCED!!!
