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 https://i.postimg.cc/3N7ZdRSb/icon02.jpg 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: https://i.postimg.cc/cHVqvPPb/icon03.jpg 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. -- The benefit of the public Usenet potluck is we learn well from each other. |
