The cover image can be used for a icon image, as I just successfully did it.
When you right click on the previous short cut you created, select "properties".
Next, select "change icon"
Next, select "Browse"
Next, a new box window will appear. Towards the middle-bottom of the page there is a open box labeled "File Name".
and
to the right of that you should see "Icon files".
Next, click on "Icon files" and change it to "All Files"
Locate the "Cover.bmp" file and select it and select "Open".
Next a box window will appear with the image being shown.
Select it and now you have a "homemade" Quick Start using the cover image as the icon image.
