It would be nice if the app shortcuts in the start menu (both in the group and
in the "Internet" and "Mail" part of the Windows XP enhanced start menu would
use the specific application's icon instead of the standard lizard.
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 :(

- 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.

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.
