    Change Desktop folder icon


    Brink,

    I have 2 other icons I am having trouble finding to change. Take a look at these screenshots and let me know if you have any ideas. The desktop icon in the file explorer menu did not update., not sure where that is being pull from. And in OneDrive folder my "Desktop" is synced but its showing the default icon. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!
