So,
this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\ShellEx\IconHandler
should be set to {FBF23B40-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}. Of course, if
you want to disable the icon handler and choose your own static icon
instead, just rename the IconHandler key to IconHandler.backup, and
then specify your icon file in the DefaultIcon key.
4. Once Windows has determined what type of URL it??™s dealing with, it
executes the Open command in the key named for the protocol being
used. For instance, the URL http://www.annoyances.org/ uses the http://
protocol, so its default application is stored in this Registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command
There are similar keys for the other protocols, like https://,
file://, ftp://, news://, nntp://, snews://, telnet://, and
mailto:. (In File Type Doctor, the protocol file types are
found at the bottom of the list.) These keys aren??™t just used
for Internet Shortcuts; they control Vista??™s behavior whenever
you try to open a web address by clicking a hyperlink in
an email message or typing a URL into the Start menu??™s
Search box.

5. The (Default) value of the protocol??™s command key should be set to the
full path and filename of your default web browser. Vista??™s default is, of
course, Internet Explorer:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
Or, if you want Mozilla SeaMonkey to be your default browser, you??™d use:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla SeaMonkey\seamonkey.
