Duplicate of #354. I realise you're running 32 bit Windows and that ticket mentions 64 bit, but we suspect it's actually broken on 32 bit systems as well.

Hmm, maybe I'm wrong about this being a duplicate. With a clean install of NVDA (i.e. with an unaltered desktop shortcut), can you please do the following:

1. Move to the desktop shortcut.
2. Press alt+enter.
3. Tab to the "Change icon..." button.
4. Press space.
5. If you see an error, please report what it says.
6. If not, please report the path in the "Look for icons in this file:" field.

When I follow your instructions and open the dialog from witch the icon can be changed, there is no error. The path in witch the system should look for icons is the following:

%ProgramFiles%\NVDA\NVDA.exe

Witch seams to be OK. But I've noticed that in the properties dialog for the shortcut on the desktop, the NVDA icon is displayed correctly (it is shown in the top left side of the dialog, right on the left of the label containing the name of the shortcut ("NVDA"). Not only that, but NVDA's icon appears in the list of available icons in the "Change icon" dialog and I can select it and apply the changes. Only they are not affecting the desktop icon and it stays broken.

In that case, it's probably not the same issue. I have no idea what's causing this on your system.

I've installed the latest snapshot (r5050) with its default settings, but before that I've deleted the previously created by the older installers shortcut on the desktop. After the installation, I looked on the desktop and NVDA's shortcut had its default icon, as it should. Then, I had to restart NVDA, because I had to replace a file related to the bulgarian localization (the symbols.dic file). After the restart, the NVDA icon on its desktop shortcut, was broken again. I tried to point from the shortcut's properties to the NVDA icon from the "nvda.exe" file, but it didn't work - the icon was still broken. Then I tried to point to an NVDA icon contained in some other NVDA executable file, and since the "nvda_service.exe" was next in the list of executable files, I tried with the NVDA icon in it. And to my surprise, it worked - now I have an NVDA desktop shortcut with a proper icon.

The only strange thing that I can think of that may have caused this is that when I first installed NVDA on this system, UAC was still turned on and I had installed a snapshot of NVDA, witch are not fully compatible with UAC (at least as far as I'm aware).

Hello,

I forgot to report, that after a change was made to NVDA so Windows handles the assignment of an icon to its desktop shortcut, the problem with the broken icon for the desktop shortcut of NVDA has not occurred again and I presume it was fixed then. I think we may close this as fixed.
