you should consider making a .reg file where people can just double click it and it'll change the registry to look for that icon.

I don't have Vista, but I believe installation would be much the same as on XP. If that's not so, ask someone who is clever, and has a Vista.(Andrew_b

Applying .reg files is useful, but best of all, you could create your own .reg files. Here is how you can do it
Launch Regedit (Start, Run, Regedit)
Navigate to the area of the registry you are interested in.
Select File (menu), Export and save as .reg file.
Note: Export Range at the bottom of the diagram and choose: Selected Branch.
Once you have mastered the technique to create .reg files, keep a look out for repetitive tasks where you need the same settings on multiple servers. Enabling the Security Tab on Exchange Servers is a classic use for this .reg file technique.
Can be found:

What you gotta do is install like you said in your original post, then follow the quoted steps from above to export the changes.
