Windows 10: Add customized Icons in Windows 10

Hello members - Is there any member that can give me the instruction to download custom icons from the internet and then use them on the PC. I have seen many icons on the internet. What I need to do is to download them, only if I am allowed to, and then upload them as icons on the internet.

Windows 10 Home Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.836

Best way to add- change the current icon a custom icon for a shortcut

After trying several different variations found posted on the web and not getting what i needed, I hope someone here might know the solution.

I am working with a long script that in its final steps creates a shortcut to a website which works as needed but the same script (which offers an option to add a custom icon) will no longer do so. The shortcut icon is either a blank white square or at best a "globe". It creates a perfect working Url link to a website while many of the methods I found for creating a URL in a command script failed to work. While this is very simple in GUI, this is the end step of a long process that needs to work as written.

I can use vbs but would prefer not to use PS if possible. This command is extremely old and may have issues with current Windows 10 x64 . It once worked properly but will no longer add the custom icon.

Any method I could use to add the icon to the created link would be great as long as I can add it in the final step of the process which creates the link.

Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
Some people have this and some don't.

Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving
