Attempting to insert a HP Smart icon to desktop.
I don't have a problem putting an icon from a webpage onto my desktop. I do have a problem getting the desktop image to come with the icon versus inserting the standard one

@Delanithe1st, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue


It seems you're trying to customize the HP Smart icon on your desktop with a specific image instead of the default icon provided by the application. Here are steps you can follow to change the icon image:

Changing a Desktop Icon Image on Windows

Prepare the Icon Image:

  • Ensure your desired image is in .ico format, which is the format Windows uses for icons. You can use online tools to convert standard image formats (like PNG or JPEG) to ICO.

Download or Save the Image:

  • You need to have the image saved locally on your computer.

Change the Icon:

  • Right-click on the HP Smart shortcut on your desktop.
  • Select Properties from the context menu.
  • In the Properties window, click the Change Icon button.
  • Click Browse and locate the .ico file on your computer.
  • Select the file and click OK.
  • Apply the changes by clicking OK or Apply in the Properties window.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
