Cheers, but why then would the office shortcuts be compressed? The .exe files are not archived, only apparently the shortcuts. When I then try to uncompress them they are not compressed.

@DominicJL You're right, sorry about that. I would have suggested exactly what you did as laid out in your answer -- try recreating the shortcuts, and/or clearing the Icon cache. :)

Interesting, I seem to get this when I generate an advertised shortcut with WiX, but I checked the compression property and it's disabled.

I feel like an old man. I remember in windows 2000 when the filename was blue, not black. You darn kids and your fancy icons. Get off my lawn!
