Default Shortcuts not displaying proper icons

Some of our desktop shortcuts occasionally do not display the proper icon.
For example, we have a desktop shortcut linked to an old MS-DOS program
(Computer Associates AccPac Plus). Therefore, the shortcut acts as an old
PIF file which allows the user to control many settings for the shortcut and
DOS window.

By right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting 'Properties' and the
'Program' tab, we can select to change the icon for the shortcut. We have
chosen an icon file (.ICO) that resides in a folder with the program file.
The icon properly shows up on the program tab as if the icon has been
properly changed. However, the icon is NOT updated on the 'General' tab nor
does it display in the desktop shortcut. Any suggestions?
