Hi All,

    Please forward this bug to the authors of the installer.

    Whenever I create an icon (shortcut) on my Windows 2000 desktop 
that points to an http web site (example "http://gbis.com"), the icon
displays a blue "e".  If I click on the icon, Mozilla pops up correctly
and starts the web site in the shortcut.

    In the next release, would it be possible to register http's icon
to Mozilla, instead of leaving it with IE?  Currently, only the program points
at Mozilla.   For http, I would like it if both the icon and the program 
pointed at (were registered to) Mozilla.

Many thanks,
--Tony

2.left click on new, shortcut
3.enter any web address starting with http


Actual Results:  
icon created for shortcut displays IE's "e"

Expected Results:  
icon should display one of the Mozilla icons
