Description
w7 rc; NVDA 0.6p3.2
The image http://www.nvda-project.org/chrome/site/images/nvda_100x100white.png looks reasonably good, but for some reason it seems like someone tried very hard to pixelate the icon when they created the icons for NVDA.exe

There seems to be an icon with resolutions up to 48x48, but it's very rough. I'm assuming that there's a vector original, it should be possible to use it to generate better icons.
Also note that as far as w7 is concerned, NVDA.exe doesn't have any icons at all -- If I manually try to change the icon of NVDA's shortcut to use NVDA.exe for an icon, it says there aren't any.


The missing icon issue has been reported by other users as well. We need to get some sighted assistance to resolve this.
