Start menu shortcut location

How I fixed this on latest version of Windows 10 - 22/09/2016. For Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, although this should work for any program with a similar wrong icon issue.

Welcome to the forums!Great question in my opinion because I "suffered" from the same thing. Now, although I really know my way around Windows I have to be honest: it was @Greg_S. who pointed my attention to this possibility (in a problem thread of my own) and that set things in motion for me. It's actually a lot easier than it seems at first, but... I always go with "credit where credit's due".The shortcut(s) which got placed in your start menu point to the welcome screen. However, there are also executables installed which fire up the program(s) directly. Open explorer (or any other file manager) and then go to the Adobe program folder. So in my case: c:\program files\Adobe. There you'll find a folder called "Photoshop Elements 2021", don't let the icon fool you! In that folder you'll find an executable called "PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe", start it and you got just what you're looking for.Now you can attach this to your taskbar, but honestly... I prefer a more elegant solution:Drag the executable to your desktop using your right mousebutton, then let go. A menu will show, make a shortcut.Rename the shortcut to a normal name, for example: "PSE 2021". Beware of the existing shortcut, try to make the name different.Point your file manager to this location: "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs".Now drag & drop the shortcut you made and move it to this location.This will add the new shortcut to your start menu, but without interfering with the "system menu". In short: your start menu
