Add Network Location wizard has an old icon

Submitted by nyp on January 22, 2009 to Aesthetics, Icons, Legacy

Add Network Location wizard displays the rundll32.exe file icon at the superbar.
However, if you use Flip 2D, you will actually get an icon... a Windows 2000-styled icon (shwebsvc.dll) to be exact.
(to open this wizard, go to Computer > Map network drive > "Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures")

Place an icon for the superbar and Flip 2D. Map Network Drive seems to be a good candidate.

Correct, but the real problem is that it is (as you stated) a legacy icon. You should have titled it "Add Network Location wizard has a legacy icon and needs to be updated."

Changed title from [Add Network Location wizard displays generic icon at the superbar] to [Add Network Location wizard has an old icon].

Now it's worse (or better?) in build 7057. The superbar also has the old icon.
