I have just set up a new system using VISTA, and have selected several
favorites and moved them to my desktop as shortcut icons. How can I get the
offical company icon to show up and remove the generic icon of which are all
the same. When I had XP it changed automatically. For example: The Post
office has an eagle, E-bays says e-bay, Bank of America has an eagle. Those
are what I am needing.

You sure this is a Vista problem, cuz all of mine do it automatically. U
could browse for the image, by going to properties»shorcut»change icon
on each icon, but that takes pretty long.

First time I used Vista: "Nothing special"
Second time I used Vista: "Copy of Mac"
When I got Vista: "Radical, dude"
Last time I used XP: "I need my Vista!!!"

Try:
Start > Control Panel > Folder Options > View and Under Files and Folders
UNcheck "Always show icons, never thumbnails".

Does that do what you are looking for?
