Broken Desktop Shortcut

[SonofEil]

After looking fine for about two years, as of yesterday my BS desktop shortcut no longer displays the proper icon. Instead it show the "unknown program" icon. When I click on it, it sill launches BS though. So it still works, but now I have that ugly icon sitting there.

 

I created a new shortcut off the Launcher.exe, the green icon in the picture, and it works also, but the black "DOS" (don't know what else to call it) window stays open the whole time giving me a sort of look behind the scenes. Creating a shortcut off the DCS.exe does not work.

 

Any idea what happened, or how to fix it right?

 

EDIT: included pic of the Black Shark "DOS" window always running.

To change the icon for any shortcut:

 

Right click the shortcut

 

Select properties

 

Choose the "short cut" tab

 

Select "Change Icon"

 

Choose "Browse" and navigate to the specific EXE file that contains the icon your after (in this case: **something here**\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\x86\stable\launcher.exe)

 

Select the icon you want, and confirm your way back to the desktop.

Yes, thank you, I tried that.

Here's what windows says:

 

EDIT, again: I was able to navigate to the folder with the icons, and the icons are present, an orange, green and blue one. When I select the icon that I want (origianl orange) nothing happens, my desktop shortcut does not change.

Did you select the launcher.exe and select the icon from it?
