Situation

When an icon is extracted from an executable or DLL for use by a bundle, only one icon (32X32) is stored. Creating a shortcut in windows for the same executable will use a higher resolution icon, if available. The ZCM-provided icon looks less smooth, and is especially noticeable on a Vista or Windows 7 desktop

Resolution

A fix for this issue is included in ZENworks 11, see KB 7006995 "ZENworks 11 - information and updates" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support
