I installed Internet Explorer (IE) 9 on my Windows 7 32 bit OS, the installation was successful, but the icon remain same as that of IE 8. How do I fix this?

not sure why it didn't update, but I've found when I manually update icons the change sometimes doesn't appear until after I restart explorer or reboot. Try a reboot and if that doesn't work (but everything else seems to work) you could always change it manually. – CreeDorofl Mar 26 '11 at 18:48
You are lucky: I prefer the old IE8 icon to the new one, and would have appreciated to keep it. – dolmen Mar 26 '11 at 20:35

If the problem is with a desktop icon, it is easy enough to fix, and it is not worthwhile to trace such a glitch in the installation :

Right-click the icon, select Properties and then click Change icon. The IE9 icon is probably the first one, so click on it and then on OK.

If restart doesnt help, then you can try to recover the Icon Cache of Win 7 http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/how-to-rebuild-the-icon-cache-in-windows-vista/
