    Is there a way to remove or change the Windows Start Menu icon on the taskbar?


    Hey Microsoft Forums!I've recently been customizing my Windows 11 computer to be themed around the Chicago Bulls. I've changed everything I like but there is one big issue, that stupid windows icon. It's blue so it doesn't fit my theme. If I could change the way it looks like other desktop programs, I would maybe turn it red or into a Bulls logo but I've looked online everywhere and it's stopped me in my tracks!So my question is, is there any way that I can remove the Windows icon on the taskbar or at least change the way it looks? I'm also willing to use external programs so really, just offe

    :)

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    You generally set that via the Start Menu settings (right-click start menu -> properties).

    I had that issues a while ago, and it meant removing it from the Start Menu, and reinstalling my browser to get the icon back, it was very odd.

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    Is there a way to remove or change the Windows Start Menu icon on the taskbar?

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    @oil: That's what I did, but unfortunately it's different, it should be like "Internet" and should have the icon of FireFox.

    So.. Remove the icon via Start menu properties, uninstall FF (again) and install?
