288930 - Use icon in start menu like OpenOffice.org does

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Installer, enhancement)

Description

When installing the OpenOffice.org 2.0 beta the icon for the OpenOffice.org
folder in the start menu is using an icon. It could be could, and should be
fairly easy to do this.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the openoffice.org start menu folder

It seems that if you create a hidden file called Desktop.ini with the following
content you can get the icon:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
IconIndex=0
ConfirmFileOp=0
InfoTip=The greatest browser ever

This feels like it'd just be redundant info, not sure if it adds anything of value, but I don't see anyone doing this on Vista now, so I don't think its interesting to do going forward.
