Help - where do the shortcut icons live?

[Green]

No. I can't find the icon (the cover art icon) to use in a homemade shortcut is what I mean. I guess because it's not there, instead it's somehow coded into the installer only. I think David has given the definitive answer. Thanks.

The Update exe's themselves use icon. If you browse for the icon, as described above by Compass Ross, go to the folder which you have downloaded your updates (or where you store them, if you move them after downloading). Select the relevant update file and that should give you the icon. Works for me.

(Any Gold Update will have the icon. It does not need to be the latest update.)
