Could someone remind me how to use a jpg file as a shortcut icon? I
have done it before but I cannot for the life of me remember how.
Thanks

IIRC use a photo editing program to reduce the size to 30 x 30 pixels
and save it as name.ico If I'm wrong someone else will be along in a
moment to correct me :)

Thanks folks. I found a suitable program later. Initially I was
wondering if it could be done within Windows 10 but this program was
fine.
