    Yes - the same thing happened to my test servers. I can change the icon
    back via shortcut properties, but I haven't been able to figure out why they
    changed in the first place. The shortcuts still work, so I'm wondering if
    it's a glitch in the SP4 installer since it seems to affect only servers....

    Subject: SP4 installation

    Hi All,

    I did install the sp4 on two workstations and two servers.
    All went okay except for one of the servers which is our PDC.
    Once the installation was finished and system rebooted most of
    my Admin Tools' such as AD users&computers, ..
    as well as all MS-Office icons and shortcuts where changed
    to the "unknown type" the one that looks like windows!

    I must say clicking on these icons still runs the application.
    I tried uninstalling SP4, but to no avail!

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,
    Hossein
