Once again, thanks to Microsoft fixing a lot of older problems in Windows 7, we no longer have to hack the Registry (as in XP) to change an Internet Shortcut's icon from the generic ones that were normally shown by your browser of choice after you created your shortcut. Thanks to the big clean-up during the creation of Windows 7, we can now once again use the same kind of easy procedure we've been using for changing desktop icons of other programs. Just right-click the unwanted icon, choose Properties, choose 'Change Icon', choose 'Browse', and then go to your folders where you've stashed all those neat home-made icons, and pick out a nice one. Or choose the one you just made for it. Those two shown in the upper left above, next to Dana Delany & I, are two examples of new home-made internet icons for website home-pages.
