Desktop Control Panel Icon Wont Use Specific Icon
im trying to get the control panel desktop icon to be a specific icon. im able to change it to other icons except this specific one.
Code:
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{5399E694-6CE5-4D6C-8FCE-1D8870FDCBA0}\DefaultIcon" /ve /d "%SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,35" /f
i can change it to a similarly alternate looking one using "shell32.dll,90"
when using "shell32.dll,35", the icon will choose the new Windows 11 control panel icon. does anyone know why? is there anyone else who has this same behavior?
Make sure that the icon file you are trying to use is accessible and does not have any permission restrictions. You may want to store the icon in a common directory that does not require administrative access (like your user folder).
