Why doesn't the Qiuck Access icon change in the taskbar when it changes everywhere else?
It's probably something simple - but what is wrong with Quick Access?
http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=7029045quickaccess10.jpg Wresting control of the Taskbar Quick Access has efficiency advantages. Hence, I am writing a detailed tutorial to help others set up quick access. Everything works fine - except - the icons don't stay changed. The tutorial has far more detail (I'll can post it separately). However, the flaw is, in summary: a. I create a shortcut & then change the name of that shortcut b. I also change the icon to that shortcut c. Capriciously, Windows only accepts _some_ icons d. Capriciously, Windows won't accept some name changes http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=7029045quickaccess10.jpg Why? -- Likely only one in 10,000 people will know the answer to any question.

You are trying too hard. Just getting a shortcut on the taskbar is an
accomplishment.

I appreciate that you hazarded an answer because the answer isn't something most people have run across (most likely) since (I assume) few people wrest control of the OS as I attempt to do. http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=9702255quickaccess12.jpg Agreed on not owning two of the three anomalous Targets, where I comprehend that you're distinguishing between the "shortcut" (which I own) and its "Target" (which I might not own), in the specific cases shown below: http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=7029045quickaccess10.jpg The "Target, for example, of "ThisPC" happens to be the same as the target of "File Explorer", which happens to be this when either are leftclicked: http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=7883153quickaccess11.jpg 1. ThisPC (whose shortcut I had renamed to "==========") as a separator 2. File Explorer (whose shortcut I change to the icon of a house) While the "Target" is clear to me, it's not yet clear why Windows seems to be so capricious in naming conventions and icons as it stands now: http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=9702255quickaccess12.jpg

A bit more experimentation and it's starting to make some sense! http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=3116474quickaccess13.jpg
