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.

 

Start Menu Icons

Hello @tony K.

The solutions were "add to desktop" icons for Chrome as requested.
The original website desktop icon will launch Chrome even if Edge or other browser is default.

The other solution was drag icons to start menu.
Original website icons as requested are listed in the start menu under "Chrome Apps"





The requested website icons can also be pinned to the taskbar
and will run the Chrome​ browser even if Edge or other is the default





Tiles are a different matter.
Edge does not have any start tabs that can be customized.
Edge does not have themes that I am aware of.
Edge does not have any options to add customized wallpapers or animated wallpapers.
If you run BING - Bing supplies only Bing wallpapers.
Edge only runs on Windows 10.
Other contributors will suggest a better way than a desktop icon.





suggested start tab page to OP using different browsers
did my best - nothing more to add
I find seeking address bar and browser tabs website icons to be ... forget it.
A task for a young corporate programmer.
edgeTILE is an excellent free store app that has options to customize tiles for web urls.

farewell

 

Tray icon disappears

I've been experiencing since the installation of Windows XP SP2 on multiple machines with the ATITool Tray Icon disappearing upon load at system startup. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. Enabling or Disabling the "Hide Inactive (tray) Icons" WinXP menu option doesn't have any effect. The only way to open ATITool after it has loaded is to go through the start menu to open it again. I have "minimize on close" selected in ATITool. When closing ATITool, you see it make the motions of minimizing to the tray area but no icon is displayed. Any ideas?
