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