Icon for Desktop ShortCut

Hi,
How do you incorporate an Icon in to your website so that
when someone puts a web short cut on their desktop it changes from
the default to your customized one. Where in DW CS3 do you put this
file?
Thanks
Tony

  • Custom icon for desktop shortcut

    Hi All,
    I have a link in the portal which when the end users click should create a desktop shortcut to the portal.
    I used this to create the desktop shortcut
    var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
    strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");
    var oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop + "
    Portal.url");
    oShellLink.TargetPath = "URL to the portal";
    oShellLink.Save();
    By default we get the IE icon for this shortcut. I want a custom icon to be associated with this shortcut.
    I can use oShellLink.IconLocation but the icon needs to be in every users c:\windows folder.
    Does somebody know how can I add this custom icon?
    Many Thanks,
    Akhilesh

  • How to change the icon for a shortcut on the desktop

    I created a shortcut on the Desktop (dragging a safari url-icon to the desktop) but the icon showing is a safari icon.
    The website has a specific icon, as displayed as the first item (icon) on the url bar in front of the website-URL.
    I located the specific icon on the website (favicon.ico), opened it and copied the icon (copy paste).
    Then I opened the properties screen for my shortcut (at the Desktop) (control click on link) .
    Now I am supposed to copy the new icon (from my Clipboard)  into the properties of the Desktop URL, but how do I do that?

    You can change the favicon for a folder but not  a specific Safari url.
    Click a clear space on your desktop then go to the Finder menu and click File > New Folder
    Move Safari url shortcuts to that folder.
    Then copy and paste the icon for the folder.

  • Can't set a icon for a shortcut of a visual studio installer project

    hi.
    I created a visual studio project (VS 2013, windows 8) from a exist project in the selution, but i can't set the icon on the desktop and program menu.
    i tried all the selution i found in the web:

    Hello,
    It seems that you want to add an icon for your application to be used as a shortcut or an icon located in quick start explorer.
    You could add that icon with the following way.
    How to: Specify an Application Icon (Visual Basic, C#)
    In addition, we should pay attention to the icon format for different systems and different DPI modes.
    You could refer to the following thread.
    Which icon sizes should my Windows application's icon include?
    The following format works for both windows 8 and windows 7.
    Windows 7:
    Explorer views:
    Details / List / Small symbols: 16
    All other options: 256 (resized, if necessary)
    Right-click->Properties / choosing a new icon: 32
    Pinned to taskbar: 32
    Right-click-menu: 16
    Desktop:
    Small symbols: 32
    Medium symbols: 48
    Large symbols: 256 (resized, if necessary)
    Zooming using Ctrl+Mouse wheel: 16, 32, 48, 256

  • Want an iTunes icon for desktop

    I want an iTunes icon for the desktop; but when I look in the iTunes folder under Start Menu/All Programs/iTunes, all that has in there is iTunes.exe.  When I double click on it, it tries to install.
    Where can I get (or how do I make) a shortcut for desktop?

    =bg= wrote:
    when I right click, 'create shortcut' is not shown.
    Is that the iTunes icon in your Start menu, that you're clicking on rather than your iTunes.exe, bg?
    In Computer, open Local disk C:\ or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    If you have a 32-bit Vista, open the "Program files" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit Vista, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "Create Shortcut".
    (If you have "Hide extensions for known file types" engaged in your View options, and you can't see the .exe extension, be sure click on the iTunes file in the "iTunes" folder that has the iTunes icon. (The other one is your iTunes.dll, not your iTunes.exe.)

  • Icon for Desktop Shows Up as a Generic Icon in the Places Sidebar

    Noticed yesterday that the icon for the Desktop showed up as a generic icon in the Places Sidebar. I have tried resetting the PRAM, repaired the Hard Disk and Permissions using the Disk Utility and deleted the com.apple.desktop.plist pref in my user library. I also checked my Admin account I use for troubleshooting and the desktop icon was fine in that account. Not sure what else to do. Not a big deal but just wanted to make sure that it is not a sign of bigger things to come. Maybe the MBP knows I'm thinking of trading it in for a new model, LOL.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.
    Tom

    Wow. That's stunning. I don't really know why it works, but it does. Apparently when you paste something on top of the icon in the sidebar, and remove it, it refreshes itself and somehow remembers the original icon?
         I deleted something and had several blank white icons in the sidebar, so I removed them and restored by pulling them back on from my home folder. Everything worked except the Desktop. First it was the blank white icon. Then I pulled it from my home folder and it was a plain blue icon with the generic page symbol, such as a standard Documents folder icon. Then I fiddled with it and pulled it over again and it changed to the generic blue desktop icon you see in the home folder. Last I tried your step of just pasting the generic desktop icon over it and undo-ing that paste, and viola!
         Many thanks for sharing. I could have forced myself to live with the generic, but it wouldn't have been the same, and not truly satisfactory, as it wasn't back the way I started. Insert applause.

  • How to get search sites icons for desktop

    Can't get sites icons, always get firefox's icons

    If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
    You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

  • Icon for Desktop App

    I have created a link to an app on my desktop. Its icon is the general image. Get info of the link has the correct icon. Why doesn't the same icon show on the desktop link?

    You're brilliant!  It worked!  It worked!  Just like that!
    Thank you SO much!

  • Hovering/Pop-up Info Icons for Desktop

    I'm talking about the big Windows 8 kind, like when one toggles Capslock, or Keyboard Language, or Insert. I've searched around but couldn't find anything, if someone is using something of the like I'd appreciate it if they pointed me in the right direction. Running OpenBox with tint2 atm pretty basic.

    A wrapper script bound to those keys that triggers notify-send would be one way to accomplish it...

  • How to use the Toshiba T icon as a shortcut to a Toshiba application

    You'll have noticed the nice T icon in your address bar for this forum.
    To use this distinctive icon for any shortcut to a Toshiba application or your user guide just follow these steps:
    1/ Create a directory somewhere to store the icon you are about to extract.
    2/ Access this forum in your browser.
    3/ Go to your +Temporary Internet Files+ location (different between XP & Vista)
    4/ Look for the icon with name {color:#0000ff}favicon.ico{color} alongside the name [http://forums.computers.toshiba-euorpe]
    5/ Copy this file into your icons location created at step #1 and rename the file (e.g. {color:#0000ff}Toshiba-T.ico{color})
    6/ On any shortcut to which you want this icon applied, simply right click on +properties+, click +change icon+ and point to your newly saved {color:#0000ff}Toshiba-T.ico{color}.
    That's all.

    Thanks for the kind words.
    I did this with the T icon because I needed the User Guide to stand out on my desktop rather than always looking for a non-distinctive default icon.
    You'd only want to do this for recognition amid icon clutter.
    Cheers all.

  • How to create shortcut desktop icon for all users???

    Hello All,
    I want to know how to create shortcut icon for all users in windows 7. I tried C:\Users\Public but no folder for Desktop.
    Thanks

    C:\users\All users
    JS
    Hi,
    I am just wondering, what is the technically correct location to place say, a shortcut, for all users to access on their desktops on a given machine?
    Is it C:\Users\Public\Desktop ?
    Or is it C:\Users\All Users\Desktop ?
    Would it also be possible to explain the differences as well? Or paste some links to the overview of each one? I am having trouble finding anything from MS.
    Thank you.

  • To create a desktop shortcut icon for the application for a jar file

    Hi
    I have created a jar file for my application. when i double click this jar file, the application opens.
    What i want is--
    Instead of user clicking on the jar file, my application also has to create a desktop shortcut icon.
    If the user clicks on the icon which is on the desktop the application should open.
    Please suggest me.
    Thanks in advance.

    >
    Please suggest me.>Launch the application using java webstart. A webstart launch offers things like a splash screen, automatic updates, and desktop integration in the form of desktop shortcuts and program menu items. If the launch file specifies icons, they are used for the shortcuts, otherwise a generic icon is used.
    For a comparison between a sandboxed webstart launch and a plain app., try the [Text Width Checker|http://pscode.org/twc/].
    While the TWC can run OK within the security sandbox, many applications need to be digitally signed and request extended permissions, to do what they need to do.
    STBC is an all-permissions webstart launch.
    Edit 1:
    And for one that definitely suggests desktop shortcuts (I usually avoid them, in favor of a menu item only), try the sandboxed [demo of the PrintService|http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#prs], which prompts the user to choose.

  • Syntax of the JNLP file (web start) for JFX to allow desktop shortcut/icon?

    I'm having a hard time getting this to work. I'm using NetBeans v7.1.2. First of all - the resulting .jnlp file comes with the applet, as well as the application specification. The classloader is different in both of the cases from what I've seen.
    <applet-desc width="800" height="600" main-class="com.javafx.main.NoJavaFXFallback" name="jwsapp" >
    <param name="requiredFXVersion" value="2.0+"/>
    </applet>
    <jfx:javafx-desc width="800" height="600" main-class="jwsapp.Main" name="jwsapp" />
    What I did was edit out the applet part - now there is no entry in the "Type" of application in the javaws cache, it's simply blank. And it's still launched as an applet (judging by the console trace). Now we have "<jfx:javafx-desc", instead of application-desc? What does that affect? Is it safe to just fallback to 'application-desc' (then the type is properly detected)? I haven't been able to find any info on this whatsoever.
    Shortcuts.. I have Java 2.1.1 installed and this:
              <shortcut online="false">
                   <desktop/>
              </shortcut>
    does absolutely nothing for me. The shortcut never appears (even though this addition to .jnlp was designated by NetBeans). Moreover, how would I go about attaching icons to this shortcut?
    Does anyone have a working .jnlp example, that is actually able to allocate a shortcut with a predefined icon on the desktop? Thank you.

    It works fine for me.
    I'm using latest FX samples and latest 7u6 on Mac OS X.
    Tested with slightly modified version of BrickBreaker.jnlp that includes
    <shortcut online="false">
    <desktop/>
    </shortcut>
    and the shortcut is always created to me.
    Could you please try the latest 7u6 build?
    If it's still reproducible, please file a new bug at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/
    and also could you please attach an example to reproduce the problem?

  • I am unable to change the icons for my desktop shortcuts after installing firefox on my windows 7 machine.

    All of the Desktop Shortcuts under properties show nothing about being able to change the icon.
