In my start menu I place a shortcut for Internet Explorer. After a couple
of days it still links to IE, but but it has lost the original IE logo, and
now it looks like something else. I know I can replace it's look by
creating a new shortcut and creating a new one, but that shouldn't be
necessary, right?

This is just a small annoyance, but still an annoyance.

I hope this explains what I mean.
