Does anyone know if its possible to change the tf2 icon?

Basically what I want to do is lock TF2 to the task bar but when I do that instead of having the normal TF2 icon it uses the HL2 icon.. Any ideas on how to change this?

He wants the icon to use the TF2 icon instead of hl2.exe.

The icon is found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\resource

You go into your Shortcut properties, then select change icons and select the icon from the path above

Just for reference, on Windows 7/8, you can right click Steam and pin recent games to that menu. It's an extra click to get to, but I found that when I had TF2 on my taskbar I would click it accidentally a bit often, and it would take a while before I could close it.

Apparently it's not as simple as that. There must be something else because whenever I change that it immediatly goes back to hl2 icon. Any ideas?

Edit: Just realized that that it's not the folder containing the hl2.exe icons. The supposed one is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\hl2\resource

In Steam you can Right Click on the game in your library and select Create Desktop Shortcut, then work with that

Thanks I'll try that! Will edit with the answer

Edit: So.. that seems to work but now I have 2 TF2 "opened". One is the shortcut directed to steam and the other is the game itself.

Thanks for the help anyway!
