How would I change the Taskbar icon for Microsoft Edge. Note that the Edge exe is not double-clickable, so creating a shortcut and changing the icon didn't seem to work for me.
Edit:
I created shortcut with this path: %windir%\explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge
and changed the icon. However, when clicking on my icon (white) in Taskbar, it switches to the default icon:
Same way you would for anything, a resource hacker. – MC10 – 2015-08-03T15:06:54.207
The way you would normally change a Taskbar icon does not require a resource hacker. It is built-in functionality. – Joel Christophel – 2015-08-03T15:15:33.887
How would you usually do it? I'm not sure what the built-in functionality is other than creating your own shortcut. – MC10 – 2015-08-03T15:20:16.777
That's the functionality to which I'm referring. Create a shortcut. Change the icon. No need for a resource hacker. – Joel Christophel – 2015-08-03T15:28:26.743
Edge does not open like other programs, for reasons unknown to me yet. Like you said, the exe is not openable by double clicking. Therefore the shortcut created is not directly linked to the exe. I don't think you will be able to change the shortcut icon in the normal way. – MC10 – 2015-08-03T15:40:09.377
The new Windows 10 is just funny like that! :-) I recognized this because I once tried to do the opposite and create a shortcut on the desktop, but with the blue icon. I got it alright, but the icon was white instead! =P – Samir – 2015-08-12T12:53:32.990
