    Changing the icons for new shortcuts and folders


    Would it be possible to get copies of the cool icons you use on your Windows TenForums tutorial pages? Example: the disk drive with the reverse circle for system restore.

    Change taskbar icon?

    You can change the icons for Pinned taskbar shortcuts from this folder:

    %Appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

    (Type that in Explorer address bar, or Run dialog.)

    For Windows installer shortcuts the target can't be changed. In that case, you need to delete the existing shortcut and create a new shortcut for that program manually, and then Pin it to Taskbar.

    Can't change folder icons in Windows 10

    Tested and confirmed fix,

    After creating new folder, create a shortcut for it. First change the icon to one of the Windows default icons from the directory Windows auto directs you to. Confirm changes. Now change icon to your icon of choice. I hope this works for you man, cuz it
    sure did for me.
