if i remember right you can create an xml like this:
<characteristic type="HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Facebook .lnk" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="Icon" datatype="string" value="\Windows\facebook.png"/>
</characteristic>
that should work with 6.1. I have a provxml that installs during customizations and changes all the icons

correct.
This is what I do, even on 6.5.
Some won't work like this on 6.5 though,
but I think it's just a fluke.
It only happened once that it wouldn't really work.
But otherwise I've changed countless folders/icons in the start menu this way without any problem.
