Is it possible to customize the Internet Shortcut icon shown in Explorer?

(question/feature request)
Is it possible (or would it be possible) to change the Internet Shortcut icon shown in Explorer when Browser Tamer is in use? It currently displays the Browser Tamer icon, but I think it would be nice to be able to customize it when registering Browser Tamer as a proxy/handler. For instance, users could possibly get an option to set it to the icon of the default ("green heart") browser.
Thanks!

It is possible technically, but it won't work well. Explorer caches icons agressively so a change will not be picked up for a long time anyway.

Hi @aloneguid ,

I hope you will provide a list of different icons and the option to select someone. I prefer to use a more classic File Type icon.

Could you please let me know where you're seeing the icon? A screenshot would be super helpful. I think you mean "internet shortcut" on your desktop, right?

Another reason why this would often not work as expected:
Sometimes, e.g. when creating shortcuts with Firefox, the resulting .URL files contain icons (paths to a cache actually).
For Firefox, that can be disabled by setting browser.shell.shortcutFavicons = false, though.
