Problem Description:
I've built a customized Chromium browser for Windows. Modifications include:
1.Changed the executable name and process title by following this guide
2.Replaced all application icons by following this guide
Expected Behavior:
Fresh installations: Taskbar shows custom icon and name correctly.
Right-clicking taskbar item: Start menu displays custom name.
Observed Issue:
On machines with pre-existing Chromium installations, my modified build exhibits two problems:
1.Taskbar icon reverts to Chromium's default icon
2.Start menu context menu shows "Chromium" instead of my custom name
Attempted Fixes (No Success):
Rebuilding icon cache with ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
Question:
What additional steps are required to ensure Windows recognizes the customized branding when Chromium already exists on the target system?
How to prevent taskbar icon inheritance from existing Chromium installations?
