Distributing a custom icon through WinZip to XP machines

I have created a self-extracting WinZip file that contains a URL with a custom icon instead of your typical default web browser icon.

When I distribute this WinZip to others and they extract the URL, the icon does not appear. This is because the icon's location is still refering to my local drive.

Is there any way I can make the icon "travel" with the URL?
 
I came up with a solution

I created a self-extracting WinZip that installed the icon to a subtle location in C: and made the url's icon data refer to that.
