Shortcut Icon

When I create a website shortcut (such as MySpace or my bank, etc) on my
desktop, some of the icons appear as the generic "e" used to indicate
internet Explorer. I have deleted the shortcut and tried again, but it still
comes up as the generic icon. Right clicking does not offer anything either
sying there are no icon files available. I have saved the icon for a
specific website and right clicked to acess it, but the computer tells me it
is not an icon file. This is a new computer I am using. (windows Vista) I
had no problems changing the icons on my old laptop ( XP ). How do I remedy
this?
