  2. How to change icons of network share folders?

    Choosing a custom icon for shortcuts works well when they're on the desktop but when pinning them to the quick access they show their original icon from imageres.dll

    How to change icons of network share folders?

    Okay, I may be under-complicating this, but I use shortcuts to my network shares very effectively, to give each shared folder its own distinctive icon. That's what larc919 suggested in #3 above.

    I have a folder of Network shortcuts in my Start menu apps list, and each shortcut bears its own badge.

    Am I missing something about your request?

    Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.
