    Remove yellow/blue sheild icon from shortcuts


    After upgrading to Windows 10, some desktop shortcuts have UAC shield icons. Is it possible to remove them?

    EDIT: Here's a solution...
    Launch the shortcuts via CMD:

    1. Right-click the shortcut to Properties
    2. Click Change Icon, then click OK when its window pops up (necessary step to avoid losing the icon)
    3. Add the following, plus a space, to the beginning of the Target field, leaving the existing path at the end:
      Code:
      Code:
      cmd /c start ""
    I had previously solved this by editing a system icon file, but that method doesn't seem to be working as of update 1607, plus it was a lot more trouble.

  3. Yellow is now Green.

    All the yellow items appearing on my laptop screen are now green. For example, emojis are green when they should be yellow. Photos of yellow clothing are now with green clothing. No other colors are affected.

    All my shortcuts, files and folders have turned green instead of yellow.

    All yellows on my Dell monitor have turned a putrid green.

    About a week ago, just after build 17713rs5_release.180706-1551 was installed, my yellow desktop folders turned a putrid green. All yellows wherever they were were this putrid green. I would not have cared, but when editing photos, I cannot tell what
    is happening to the yellow content.

    I went to settings: ease of access: color filters. It was on, so I turned it off. My normal yellows came back to my desktop.

    The yellows remain, no matter what I did with the high contrast. I leave it off.

    I had no idea what had happened or how to correct it. Other searches only came up with correcting a yellow screen.

    Thanks to GeraldoCampos1’s March 12, 2018 post, my monitor colors are back to normal.

    I don't know for sure but that newly installed build may have changed the setting. It did change settings elsewhere.
