AutoCAD Architecture - Windows 8 Taskbar

We have a problem with one system opening .dwg files. The correct version of AutoCAD launches (AutoCAD architecture vs. MEP/Structural Detailing) however the wrong icon in the taskbar is used.

 

I went through and pinned all the program icons to the Windows 8 taskbar to make it easier to pin files / access programs quickly, however with AutoCAD Architecture, right clicking the taskbar icon and choosing a drawing to open will open the drawing in a NEW taskbar icon. It still displays the splash screen / program title for AutoCAD Architecture, but it doesn't use the Architecture taskbar icon, it makes a new regular AutoCAD (no discipline) icon.

 

Have any other users experienced this? I have 2 users running windows 7 where this error does not occur, but our new windows 8 machine has this problem - and I'm about to build one more machine with windows 8 and would like to solve little problems such as this before I do.

 

Thanks
