Internet Explorer has wrong ICON

If your Desktop icons are broken and you need to rebuild them, find the
ShellIconCache file in the %systemroot% directory and delete it. It's a
hidden file, so you'll have to select Show All Files in Windows Explorer
(View | Folder Options | View tab). When you log off and log back on, the
icons will be rebuilt from scratch. The ShellIconCache file maintains a copy
of all Desktop objects' icons to expedite the screen redraws, and the file
may become corrupt.

Well back to searching the registry. There has to be something
somewhere.
