    Change Icon Button Greyed Out in Properties Window


    Hi Guys,

    1. Does anyone know how I can turn the 'Change Icon' button in the Properties Window on? It was greyed out upon installation of the programme so my guess is it was intentional.

    2. And I do not understand why the Target Location is blank too, unlike other App Properties.

    Any ideas?


    Regards.

    Andrew,

    Edwin is correct.

    Several applications create their own custom non-editable shortcuts like the one you are looking at here.

    You can always make your own shortcut from the target itself by finding that target in File explorer. The shortcut you make will allow editing.
