QlikView_icon for IE_shortcut?

`Hi,

I am responsible for a company-wide QlikView Rollout.

All the operative PCs where QlikView is to run have Win_XP installed and IE_8 (was 7, we are in the process of updating them all).

Now I want to create an IE_shortcut on the desktop, with the relevant app set as start_page

AND

set the QlikView_logo as icon for this shortcut.

The first half of this I have done already and in principle I know how to change the icon of a shortcut, too. The problem is that, although I have downloaded a QlikView_logo in jpg format and saved it - when I browse to this file in the icon_change_dialog,

I get a message "The file ... does not contain an icon".

Can anyone tell me what I have to do differently to make this work?

It would be quite nice if everyone could see at a glance where to click to open the QlikView app.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

Hi,

it seems like nobody has faced this "problem" before.

Most of the icons you can find online for QlikView have a white background which is quite annoying when you want to use it as a shortcut_icon...

A colleague made one for me. I'm searching for a slightly bigger one, but at least this one does not have a background.

I will attach the .ico file to this post. Feel free to use it for your own purposes!

Best regards,
