Copied shortcut from desktop displays wrong icon due to shortcuts not recognized
Cause:
If the Windows 3.1x Program Manager shell is used on the desktop, Windows 95 shortcuts are not recognized because the shortcut is not directly associated with a program file.
Solution:
Assign the icon manually, using the 'Properties' command from the Program Manager 'File' menu.
NOTE: In Program Manager, items that are not directly associated with a program file are displayed with a generic icon.
1) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
2) Select 'Run...'. (The 'Run' dialog box appears.)
3) Type the following in the 'Open' drop-down list box:
PROGMAN
'Run' dialog box
4) Click 'OK'.
5) Select the 'File' menu and select 'Properties...'. (The 'Program Item Properties' dialog box appears.)
6) Click 'Change Icon...'. (The 'Change Icon' dialog box appears.)
'Program Item Properties' dialog box
7) Click 'Browse...'.
8) Locate the directory containing the original program file and icons.
9) Select the appropriate icon.
'Change Icon' dialog box
10) Click 'OK' and click 'OK' again.
