Changing CMD/BAT icons on task bar

I have placed a link to a bat file on the taskbar, using a shortcut with the target set to "cmd /c <path to bat file>" and it works as intended when clicked. Unfortunately the icon only displays the cmd icon (black box with a c:>). When changing the
icon in (shift +) properties, it lets me choose a custom icon, but when I apply the change it still shows the cmd icon.

However, if I right click the taskbar icon, the custom icon will be displayed in the popup menu.

Is there a way to customize this icon on the taskbar?
