After spending considerable time testing this and trying out various
things, we have found a way that seems to work 100% - so far!

1. RENAME the bleeping icon!
2. Use the "Refresh Desktop" action

The RENAMING is absolutely the key! Then Windows doesn't find the icon
in the cache!

So simple, yet so elusive!

Best regards,
