    Desktop Shortcut Icons

    Hi Mik-Dav,

    The desktop shortcut created for a specific website should bear the website's actual logo. With what you've experienced, there could be something wrong with how the shortcut was created.

    If you've created the shortcut by selecting Create shortcut, then we suggest that you try the other way, that is by dragging the website icon that appears in the address bar to your desktop. Follow these steps:

    • Using Internet Explorer, access a website.
    • Once the website opens, you will see its icon in the address bar.
    • Click and drag the icon on your desktop.

    The website shortcut bearing its actual logo should now be saved on your desktop.

    Let us know if you need further help.

    Regards.

    I created an icon a while back to suggest it for replacement with a black PCB.

    Hi,

    This issue can be caused by conflicts with desktop icon size.

    As an initial troubleshooting step, change the icon size by following the steps below:

    • Right-click on your desktop screen.
    • Click View.
    • Switch from Medium icons to Small icons or
      Large icons       to Small icons.
    • See if the box that circling the desktop shortcut will be gone.

    Feel free to post back if you have other concerns.
