I suppose that you could create a shortcut from the Keyboard and Mouse Control Panel items to use instead for them. It would be interesting to hear if anyone else is getting this or not to.

What a brilliant idea, I never thought of that, thanks!

It's quite strange because the usual icons are in the program files but aren't associated with the right .exe I guess. Meanwhile all the items that it inserts in All Programs are all blank icons. Somebody goofed and I wonder how long it will take for them to notice.

It's also the first time I've known the issue of being unable to change the icon for any imported software desktop shortcut.

hey brink,

how is everything going hope all is well

thanks for this update on the drivers!!!!!! i really hope they all work

here is a question
why when i did check up drivers for Intellipoint

or Windows update they do not state that update

is available? strange 1 side does not know what the other is doing.

thanks for bring thing together

as always you are the BEST

I've never known WU to offer Intellipoint or Intellitype software but there is an update button in the All programs entry.

By the way Brink, that problem with blank icons I reported earlier didn't happen in my other Vista boot, so must have been a glitch. I'll uninstall/reinstall and see what happens.

That's good to hear Peter. Thank you for posting back.

**Ex_Brit** · 06-18-2009

But this is weird Brink. I've uninstalled/reinstalled in the main Vista boot and the same thing happened again. I wonder what is so special (or unspecial) about this one?
In the Control Panel/Programs/Uninstall a Program the correct icons for IP and ITP are showing OK, but not in Start/All Programs.

Strange indeed.

**Ex_Brit** · 06-18-2009

I would have posted a screenshot using Snipping Tool except the method I've always used for posting pics of menus (as per a post in SevenForums I believe) for some reason now no longer works....grrrr!!!! LOL

I think in this case it was either .ico or .icl, not sure which. The latter had no default for some reason.

Anyway, all is well now.

Nero used to give one the choice not to let it take over file types, no longer with Nero 9 unfortunately.

LOL, Nero strikes again.
