My apologies for not being clearer... I remember when I first tried it it didn't work either.... The program works well but is not exactly intuitive..
Anyway click the link below. It shows 2 screenshots of what you need to do. It's fairly straighforward but you have to do it in the exact order shown.
 
Also after you add a button you'll need to shutdown and restart Internet Explorer.
 
Hope this helps..

Actually any icon should work. If you scour the net (via google) you should find many!
Alternately you can make your own. Just use any program to make a 32 X 32 pixel bitmap image. Call it whatever.ico and you can use it.
 
You can also use the icon for any existing program I believe....
 
I like to use an existing icon and modify using mspaint.
 
Take Care
