Every once in a while, when we upgrade Internet Explorer, an issue arises where the icon turns into the blank default icon instead of changing to the new one.

I’ll add a screenshot the next time I run into it, but here is the answer for going from ie6 to ie7.  I have only seen this happen going from ie7 to ie8 a couple of times and only in XP.  The same resolution seems to work in that case as well.

Go into the registry and look for the registry key…

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\IEXPLORE.EXE\DefaultIcon

I’ll bet yours looks as mine did and has…

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe,-7.
