Windows 10 64 bit with classic shell to give windows 7 usability.
The Microsoft Edge icon (blue e) is there in the task bar and also at the top of the start menu but when I click 'All Programs' the entry there for Microsoft Edge, amongst the other 'M" titles, has an icon that looks like a blank sheet of paper with the top corner curled over.
If I right-click this All Programs entry for Microsoft Edge and select properties, then click 'Change icon', the 'select icon' dialog appears and the top-left icon is selected: a blank sheet of paper with top corner bent over.
The "look for icons in this file" box shows : %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll.
I don't know where to look for the Edge executable, otherwise I was going to try selecting it as the icon source. I searched for edge in explorer but it can't find it.
(where the heck do they hide it?)
Is it a corruption problem?
Or is it perhaps that the icons in task bar and top of start menu are larger and the dll provides only the large icons, while the 'All programs' entry may need a smaller icon but the same dll may not provide the required small icon? Maybe the icon in the dll defaults to a blank paper icon if the required size is missing?
If I right-click the task bar 'e' icon, then right-click the pop up for Microsoft Edge that appears and select properties from that, the icon selected for that also shows the blank sheet of paper, yet the task bar definitely has the blue 'e'.
Hmmm.
Anyone know how to get the blue 'e' back in the 'All programs' menu, or is it a bug in Classic shell?
p.s. classic shell does look much better than the awful windows 10 menu- thanks!
I thought windows 10 was supposed to be an apology for windows 8; they still could do better- like offer an option to display and work like windows 7 when not in tablet mode
