I am trying to set a file icon for a program I am creating. I can get the icon to show on the taskBar
when I am running the program. But I can't get it to show in a file explorer.
Here is an example screenshot from Explorer:
I have embedded the icon into the project, and set it as the windows icon using
Icon="Sample.ico"
Thanks
Right-click the shortcut you created, click Properties, and then click Change Icon. Click the picture of the icon you would like the shortcut to use, click OK, and then click OK.
Go to Settings > Personalization > Themes and on the right side of the window, select Desktop icon settings. This will launch a new window where you can toggle the icons for This PC, your user folder, Network, Control Panel, and the Recycle Bin. While here, you can also change the icons for these shortcuts if you want.
The application icon is always displayed in the menu bar. When you open the application window, the application icon also appears in the Dock. To open the application icon menu, Click the application icon in the menu bar.
Touch and hold the app, then lift your finger. If the app has shortcuts, you'll get a list. Touch and hold the shortcut. Slide the shortcut to where you want it.
Have you selected the icon for your application? (project properties > tab application > symbol and manifest > symbol)
