How do I change a shortcut's icon?

I just loaded the Remote Display Control tool from MS but the shortcut it installs has the default 'icon not found' icon, I want to get it looking a bit nicer.

on yer pc, or on your phone? on the pc, you can just right click on the icon, go to properties, then click choose icon. On your phone, wait, there isnt a phone part that you will ever see or should even have a shortcut to.

Well I can tell you how I do it. For instance, I use ContactManager and I needed the shortcut in my Programs to be directed to its .lnk and not the OEM contacts. So I start Total Commander (OEM File Explorer wont work for you) and go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and find the shortcut to the program I want. I hold my stylus on it and go to Properties, from there I go to the Shortcut tab at the top and I can either type in the directory path manually or I can browse for it with the button given in that window. Hopefully this wil answer your questions.

This doesn't answer the question. The OP asked how he can change the shortcut ICON, not the shortcut path. I'd like to know the answer to this as well. Thanks!
