Windows 10: Internet Explorer 11 Desktop Icon

Yep, they are different. The top one is the correct one. No need to worry about the bottom one.

 

Back to the start line!

 

Hi Shawn,

I Found a website, with, what they say it is the default values for [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}] Registry Tree, here: http://windowrdb.com/w.php?w=hkcr-clsid-871c5380-42a0-1069-a2ea-08002b30309d

I have checked my registry for that tree (Internet Folder), and found severall differences (in red):

Can you please check what sould be the right one?

Thank you

 

{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D} is unrelated to the IE desktop icon.

You would want to look at {871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30301D} instead.
