    Description

      When I copied regedit.exe and explorer.exe to system32 to regain the shortcut functionality, the icons did not change even though the shortcuts worked. I found that the icons would change if the shortcut was renamed.

      To Replicate:

      1. copy regedit and explorer.exe to system32
      2. open the start menu and click ReactOS Explorer to verify the shorcut is working
      3. Manually browse to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\start menu\programs
      4. Rename ReactOS Explorer to Explorer (or any other name)
      5. Open the start menu and look at the Explorer shortcut with the proper icon.
      6. Repeat 2-5 for regedit.exe

      I am using r27793.

      To me it seems that the icon cache is not updating properly.
