Default Icon issue in the Start Menu

XP Home SP2.

Two recently downloaded programs do not have (what I think) are the correct icons for Adobe 7 & CD Burner XP.

Kind of hard to describe the icon- White folder with blue tool bar at the top, top rt corner folded in and what looks like tiny red blue green little things.
On one folder I can rt click and change the icon- which the problem icon is the first one in the list.

the Adobe, it does not seem I can Rt click/Properties and change the icon.

Any suggestions?

ok got it now...

What those icons usually mean is your pc does not know what program to open when opening that program (if that does not confuse you lol)

As long as it works drag and drop the adobe out of the list and put it on your desktop..

Right click and click change icon, and brows to C: program file adobe and click on the correct adobe icon.. This will at least change that one.. Let me look for the other ones.
