Incorrect Icon Displayed in Taskbar

When I check the "Group Similar Taskbar Buttons" for Taskbar Properties, I get a "Folder" icon when I have multiple Internet Explorer windows. In the past, I believe that it was always the Internet Explorer "e", but somehow it seems to have changed.
Any suggestions on a straightforward way to correct this?
