Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Mozilla Actual Results: Every Mozilla app uses the standard lizard icon (mozilla.exe,0) Expected Results: Every Mozilla app should use it's own icon from "chrome/icons/default/*". This is quite easy to fix. When creating the registry keys for the icons, all we have to do is to place the icon path into the configuration: Replace "<pathToMozilla>\mozilla.exe,0" by "<pathToMozilla>\chrome\icons\default\<appropriateAppIconFile>". That's all, folks.

Note this is not only a Windows XP problem because it refers to the Start Menu. This might still be a dupe of some bug.
Sorry, I didn't find the denoted bugs when doing a search before submitting. But I have two annotations to this bug: 1. I'm not sure if the patch from bug 162858 made it into the 1.3 trunk -- after installing it, the created shortcuts all displayed the lizard. Can anyone confirm this? 2. This issue has not been fixed for the "Mozilla" (aka browser) shortcut; line <a href="http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpinstall/packager/windows/browser.jst#310">310</a> is still incorrect. Regards, Alexander
It is hard to fix this bug ? Now is very hard to start mozilla mail for most users, because browser and mail has same icons :(
*** Bug 195372 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I'm fixing this.
- mail.jst and browser.jst have almost the same code in createShortcuts() - refactor? - editor.jst, venkman.jst and chatzilla.jst also need similiar code. - palmsync needs to have icons in the install program to use. - addressbook needed in mail.jst - profile icon needs hooking up
ssu mentioned that i should just copy the createShortcuts() function for now to all of the other .jst files. The refactoring is another bug.

Bug 72254 is being marked WONTFIX because I am bringing back the Uninstall start menu item, along with adding address book, profile manager, etc. They will all appear within a "Mozilla Tools" directory about "Mozilla PalmSync" as not to clutter up the start menu.

(Brian) Can you check my bug 172537 comment 5 (and 3) ? I feel that it could be related to the current bug, maybe with a dependency or duplicate relation.

Its dependant, yes. You can use my profile manager icon once its checked in.

Still persists in Seamonkey 1.0 Suggestion: this may be fixed by adding two strings in the Windows registry: !!!!! BE AWARE! EDIT STRINGS ACCORDING YOUR SEAMONKEY DIRECTORY !!!!! [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\seamonkey.exe\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\PROGRA~1\\mozilla.org\\SeaMonkey\\chrome\\icons\\default\\main-window.ico,0" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\SeaMonkey\.eml\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\PROGRA~1\\mozilla.org\\SeaMonkey\\chrome\\icons\\default\\messenger-window.ico,0" Also I would suggest these registry keys to call Preferences and Account settings dialog from Start Menu by right-clicking on Seamnokey mail icon: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\SeaMonkey\shell\preferences] @="P&references" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\SeaMonkey\shell\preferences\command] @="C:\\PROGRA~1\\mozilla.org\\SeaMonkey\\seamonkey.exe -chrome \"chrome://communicator/content/pref/pref.xul\"" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\SeaMonkey\shell\properties] @="&Account Settings" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\SeaMonkey\shell\properties\command] @="C:\\PROGRA~1\\mozilla.org\\SeaMonkey\\seamonkey.exe -chrome \"chrome://messenger/content/AccountManager.xul\""
Sorry, instead of [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\SeaMonkey\.eml\DefaultIcon] must be [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\SeaMonkey\DefaultIcon]

Old XPFE installer is dead now with the end of life for SeaMonkey 1.x, and I think this has been solved in the SeaMonkey 2 world.
