Quicken in the Dock

Hello,
could you please specify what is a generic Windows icon? Or attach a csreenshot, please.
Actually, you can try to remove that icon from dock, then open the program and when its icon appears in dock, right-click it and choose "Keep in dock". Will the saved icon be normal?

It doesn't matter whether 'Keep in Dock' is checked or not. When the Quicken icon appears in the dock, it's not the application's Windows icon but instead, a rectangle with a blue bar on the top with a white field (what I would call a "generic" windows application icon. A screenshot is attached. I've also attached a capture of the icon displayed in Windows.
Looking further, the Windows application, buried down in Program Files, is qw.exe and, in Windows, it has a generic application icon, which is what I'm seeing in the dock. The shortcuts that are displayed in the start menus, quick launch toolbar, on the desktop, etc., have a more distinctive icon (like most applications). See the second attachment.
Thanks.

Hello,
unfortunately, it is quite a troublesome method but if you are bored with the generic Windows icon instead of Quicken original one, please, try to do the following:
find a small picture of Quicken icon, then browse to your Parallels Folder->Windows Applications or just search for it with the Spotlight. Find a icon for Quicken there, right-click it and hit Get Info. Open the picture (Quicken icon), copy (cmd+c) it, then go to that "Get Info" window, check the picture at the top of it (the picture with the current icon) and paste copied picture (cmd+v).
