    When I create a new shortcut of a game in Steam, it's a blank icon


    Using the 'right click game in library > manage > add desktop shortcut' button in steam, creates a shortcut for the game on the desktop but the icon is blank a blank piece of paper instead of the appropriate game icon, how can this be fixed?I already contacted steam support and i was told its a Windows problem.
