....really shoot your XP machine in the foot, so to speak. Pick any program shortcut that is pinned to your start menu. If you don't have any, find any old program shortcut (or make one) then pin it to your start menu. Now go find some other shortcut to a completely different program and open it's properties. Copy the full path info from that one and past it into the path info in the properties for that other shortcut that is pinned to the start menu and click OK to make it stick. Now carefully look at that icon. It hasn't changed. Now click on it. The icon now starts that other program instead of the one it looks like it is SUPPOSED to start.
Or you could simply click on "Change Icon..." while you're already in the properties dialog, and change the icon to whatever you want. So what? Icon and commandline of a shortcut aren't associated and never were.
