Setting the icon for the Vkontakte label

Now after you have created a shortcut, it will already be capable, and respond to a double click of the mouse, or the Enter key, opening in your browser, which is the default in the operating system.

In order to assign a specific image to a shortcut, that is, change the standard shortcut icon, a number of simple actions should be done:

1. Right-click on the created shortcut and select “Properties.
2. In the window that appears, find the button "Change icon". "
   
3. After that, select the image you are looking for from the suggested ones, or find your image in the ICO format (icon format). To do this, at the top of the window there is a "Browse" button.
   
4. For my label, I decided to apply the created icon of the official logo of the Vkontakte site in the shape of the letter “B”

If, due to impossibility, you could not change to another icon, then I suggest download the finished file icons and set it for a shortcut. For a created shortcut, you can also apply " Quick call ”Which, of course, will be a convenient moment of our work!
