  1. Windows 10 - Show default extension icon instead of default application icon


    I edited my regedit registry to asign an extension a default custom icon. For example the .js extension.


    In HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.js key I added a new value called DefaultIcon pointing to the path where my icon is located. I also went to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/JSFile/DefaultIcon and also added a (Default) value pointing to the same path.


    The problem is that .js files show the default application icon used for that type of files, SublimeText3 in this case.


    I would like to ignore the default app icon and always show the default icon I assigned manually to that extension. Is that possible?


    NOTE: I have my computer set in Spanish language.

    :)

  3. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Windows 10 - Show default extension icon instead of default application icon

    Hey guys I need your help fixing the default access icon on the start menu, as far as google searches suggested default user access and all it only fixes the IE icon, but when I chose fire fox to display it's just a globe when clicked on it still displays IE's properties but doesn't start firefox instead.
