well i searched around abit..and the only thing i could find was this...but it doesnt sound very promising as it mentions nothing about XP or IE versions other than 5..this probably wont help...but i decided to post just incase:

There's one thing that can't be done, and can't be done at the folder options either. That's changing the icon for .url-files (internet links). Annoyances.org provided a solution, though:

Open RegEdit and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT again. Select the key InternetShortcut and modify the binary value 'EditFlags' to say 00 00 00 00. Next, delete the (sub)key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTInternetShortcutshellexIconHandler (the folder on the left, that is). Close and you'll be able to choose an icon.

Note: this will disable the "favicon" in IE5; creators of webpages will no longer be able to set up the icon that shows between your favorites. And you can't assign an icon to any .url file yourself too.
