Problem Description:

I've built a customized Chromium browser for Windows. Modifications include:

1.Changed the executable name and process title by following this guide

2.Replaced all application icons by following this guide

Expected Behavior:

Fresh installations: Taskbar shows custom icon and name correctly.

Right-clicking taskbar item: Start menu displays custom name.

Observed Issue:

On machines with pre-existing Chromium installations, my modified build exhibits two problems:

1.Taskbar icon reverts to Chromium's default icon

2.Start menu context menu shows "Chromium" instead of my custom name

Attempted Fixes (No Success):

Rebuilding icon cache with ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache

Question:

What additional steps are required to ensure Windows recognizes the customized branding when Chromium already exists on the target system?

How to prevent taskbar icon inheritance from existing Chromium installations?
