It is literally what I said in the title, my icon on the desktop appears normally, but when I open the application and it appears on the taskbar, it gets the icon of an unknown shortcut.

I had the same problem and just solved the issue. I created a desktop shortcut. Right click properties. Change Icon. Then right click desktop shortcut. Click 'Pin to taskbar'. Now you have the icon!

Try removing the shortcut from the task bar, then start Photoshop again. If the icon looks okay, pin it to the taskbar again. If not, show a before and after screen shot.

The application is not on the taskbar, as I said before, as soon as I start up, and it is minimized to the taskbar, the icon changes.

Some screen capture of what you are doing and the results would be helpful.

Windows task bar? Can you show what you use used to start some applicatio and what application opened?  Some screen captures would be helpful.
