Default Shutdown or Restart Windows without bickering

In response to what "Kerr-Mudd,John" wrote :

Thanks; I've finally added icons to my shutdown shortcuts.


For those who asked _why_ we'd want to change out shutdown icons...
o This image gives an example of some shutdown icons I use myself

Just one more example (of many) where you'd _need_ to create an icon, is
when you try to put the "Edge" browser in your WinXP-style accordion-style
cascade-style native Windows 10 menus, as shown on my system today:

A quick test of creating that shortcut & setting its icon is to do this:
a. Create an empty shortcut, named "edge.lnk" for example.
b. Set the shortcut TARGET to the following:
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8 bbwe!MicrosoftEdge
c. Then pick an icon from this location:
%windir%\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb 3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge.exe

Or pick an icon from any desired pre-existing default location, e.g.,
o C:\windows\system32\shell32.dll (default icon location)
o C:\windows\system32\imageres.dll (folders, devices, actions)
o C:\windows\system32\ddores.dll (hardware devices and resources)
o C:\windows\system32\pifmgr.dll (old-style icons of Windows 95 vintage)
o C:\windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl (old-style icons of Windows 95 vintage)
o C:\windows\system32\moricons.dll (old-style icons of Windows 95 vintage)
o C:\windows\system32\accessibilitycpl.dll (accessibility features icons)
o C:\windows\system32\mmcndmgr.dll (old-style computer management icons)
o C:\windows\system32\gameux.dll (gaming icons)
o C:\windows\system32\mspaint.exe (paint-related icons)
o C:\windows\system32\mmres.dll (audio speakers, headphones, microphones)
o C:\windows\system32\netcenter.dll (network settings and features)
o C:\windows\system32\netshell.dll (network connections & hardware)
o C:\windows\system32\networkexplorer.dll (network connections & hardware)
o C:\windows\system32\twinui.dll (twin screens icons)
o C:\windows\explorer.exe (file explorer icons)
etc.

If you don't actually try to put an Edge menu in your WinXP-style menus,
then you won't realize that you need to know these tricks for efficiency.
