    Desktop Shortcut Icons


    Using windows 10 Pro this is how my desktop shortcuts look but I don't have the option
    in properties to change the icon How can I change the icons so they all
    don't look the same? I made these website shortcuts using the windows 10
    shortcut option.

    Hi, guessing, perhaps related to the fact you have a green dot there.. e.g.

    This is what you should see:

    - with or without the shortcut arrow depending on whether you've opted to remove it.

    Thank You
    Different question for a different reason.... Are you using Carbonite backup?

    As for changing the icons so they don't all look the same.... what do you mean don't look the same? It seems to me you've got all your webpages set to open with Firefox so any webpage shortcuts will have have the Firefox icon. Not sure I understand the issue????

    I fixed the problem...I just sent a shortcut from my favorites folder
    to the desktop and it gave me the change icon option.

    Thank You
