Remove yellow/blue sheild icon from shortcuts


After upgrading to Windows 10, some desktop shortcuts have UAC shield icons. Is it possible to remove them?





EDIT: Here's a solution...
Launch the shortcuts via CMD:

1. Right-click the shortcut to Properties
2. Click Change Icon, then click OK when its window pops up (necessary step to avoid losing the icon)
3. Add the following, plus a space, to the beginning of the Target field, leaving the existing path at the end:
   Code:
   
   Code:

   cmd /c start ""

I had previously solved this by editing a system icon file, but that method doesn't seem to be working as of update 1607, plus it was a lot more trouble.

 

Weird Stuff happening, not much hair left in my head to tear off at this point!

This smells like a virus. I see you have something from ESET installed (icon in the systray), and it probably wants to update (yellow alert). I suggest you do update it, and run an in-depth scan. You might find an uninvited guest resident...
