That's the odd thing. Everywhere else in Vista this (and this has happened
before with
other programs) program displays the correct icon. If I place it on the
desktop, in the
quickstart menu and in explorer it disp[lays the proper icon. Wheni I right
click the icon
in the Vista Start menu ther iIS no button for 'Change Icon'. Actually it
appears to have
fixed itself. I was have a problem with something else and decided to boot
into Safe Mode.
I then rebooted to a normal starup and the icon then displayed properly.
Again this has happend several time with different programs and rebuidling
the icon cache didn't seem to help
