Instead of ... to end a sentence have you considered just a .? And then
start the next sentence with a Capital letter? Like I'm doing. Yes, it's
like an test in English class but it really makes for easier reading.
And hit Enter every so often...like I'm doing...
On to your question...when you select Change Icon, Paste this into the
little window next to Browse...
%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
Then choose an icon from there. Will that icon stick?
If this doesn't work then you may not be able to change the icon for
your Hotmail shortcut.

Also, as a Graduate in English Literature (Masters) I am well aware
of the proper grammar and etiquette for composing documents, however
I am frustrated at being told the same darn thing over and over
and I tend to allow my emotions to rule my training.
SO thanks for the help NOT...

I ain't neither high nor mighty I am just trying to get a better icon on my
desktop
and believe me I meant no insult towards the gentleman
who left me last message, as I tried to explain I keep
getting the same response to this question
and I cannot seem to get an answer as to why
I cannot change the darned icon
So forgive me JD and forgive me Mike
And if Google it means to use google to look for an answer
I have done that for 2 days. Any other info that might help
would be appreciated.

One other thing you can try is to create a new shortcut on your desktop.
Right mouse click on your desktop, select New and then Shortcut. Browse
to the location of your Hotmail .exe or whatever Hotmail uses to launch
itself, give it a name like Hotmail2 and once it's on your desktop see
if you can then change the Icon by browsing
%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
I don't have a Hotmail account so I can't try this myself. If this
doesn't work then Hotmail just don't want you changing it's Icon. :-(

If you're still there - you're not going to thank me for saying this, but
I've just created two desktop shortcuts to Hotmail, both with different
icons (from shell32.dll), and they're holding nicely...
I'm curious - you say the icon is the "standard E icon". Is it the actual
"e" by itself, or the white "page" with an e on top of it? Could it be that
your home page is Hotmail and you're creating a shortcut to *Internet
Explorer* (wherein when you go to change the icon, the button to do so is on
the "Shortcut" tab, the middle one of three buttons, the others saying "Find
Target" and "Advanced")? As opposed to a shortcut directly to a web page,
in this case http://www.hotmail.com, via right-click > New > Shortcut (where
"Change Icon" is the only button, on the "Web Document" tab)? Mine are the
latter.
Perhaps try creating an entirely different shortcut (to eg calc.exe), giving
it the icon you want for Hotmail, then changing the Target. And maybe before
that, clear your browsing history, in case Hotmail's holding on to some
"favicon" link or something. If it were me with your problem, I think I'd
clear out the whole IE cache, too.
Another thought - browse to another website, say Yahoo; right-click and drag
the "Y!" icon at the left end of IE's address bar to the desktop; choose
Create Shortcut; then right-click > Properties and change the icon and URL
on the "Web Document" tab and name at top of the General tab.
Maybe try creating a new shortcut pointing to all of this:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" www.hotmail.com
(changing the first path if necessary) and then changing that one's icon.
Apologies if you've tried all these - I can't really think of anything else.
