Change icon of Windows 10 Quick Launch (Custom) Toolbar

Question

I have created a quick launch toolbar of my Games folder (Right click taskbar → Toolbars → New Toolbar → Select Game Folder).

This creates a toolbar that looks like this:

I am trying to change the icon of these folders on my toolbar.

I have changed the icon of my folder on my disk, but that does not change the icon on the toolbar. I'm guessing the toolbar icons are shortcuts, but I can't find the location of the shortcuts on the disk.

All I can find is the disk location of the normal quick launch shortcuts: C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

Any idea where the toolbar shortcuts are on disk? Or any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Your problem:
When you created the toolbar, you selected a folder. If that folder has other folders inside, you will see folders on your toolbar.

The fix:
To fix this, create a folder specifically for your toolbar and create shortcuts to all your game executables (.exe files) like I have done for my creative tools.

Create a new toolbar that points to the folder with all your new shortcuts in and your icons will appear.
