This is Issue 469 moved from a Google Code project.
Added by 2011-02-04T13:18:15.000Z by [email protected].
Please review that bug for more context and additional comments, but update this bug.

Original labels: Type-Defect, Priority-Medium, Component-IDE, OpSys-Windows

Original description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Open Arduino IDE
  2. Right click the taskbar icon for Arduino IDE

What is the expected output?
A nice/not resized icon and a context menu referencing Arduino.exe or just showing "Close" as the unique available option

What do you see instead?
You see a fuzzy icon (for 0022 and a java icon for previous releases) and an incorrect context menu (it references to javaw.exe, so if you pin the exe to the Windows 7 taskbar you will get an invalid reference)

What version of the Arduino software are you using? On what operating
system? Which Arduino board are you using?
Any version (for wrong context menu and wrong java icon), but the 0022 shows a upscaled icon, not the javaw.exe one. Windows 7 x86 or x64

Please provide any additional information below.
I have made a temporal workaround: http://servicios.ried.cl/arduino/temp/windows7_arduino-0022_fix.rar

Closing in favour of #3473 which, being more recent, has more chances to get traction and contributions
