    How to change shortcut Icon?
    « on: May 10, 2009, 12:38:42 PM »
    I know normally I can change a shortcut Icon by right clicking, going to Properties and click on "Change Icon", but on one program Serif Photoplus 10 the "change Icon" box is blanked out. Anyway to change this Icon please?

    WIN XP PRO SP3

      Thanks, but tried that with same result. It had previously changed to what I guess is Default Icon? Hopefully screen shot of it below.

      Thinks for the reply. Sorry that did not help. I thought that you could always change a shortcut icon. I am not sure how this works.
      Below is how I made a shortcut to a folder on the desktop. The folder icon I can not change, but the shortcut I can.
