I'm using gvim 7.3, and for some reason the taskbar icon shown is just the default Win32 "program" icon. I run the EXE itself.

Any idea how can I make gVim show an actual icon? I don't want to create a shortcut because I run the EXE itself from numerous apps in my system.

It seems to happen only with the gvim executable, so what I did was to create a shortcut to gvim, then in its properties change its icon to the vim.exe file, then pin this shortcut to the task bar.

I upvoted your answer because you took the time to write it -- thank you very much. However, for me the problem simply stopped occuring, completely randomly. It just fixed itself one day without me doing anything, so I didn't get a chance to test your solution. At any rate, thank you! – ezuk Jan 13 at 5:49
