Originally created by @imthenachoman on GitHub (Sep 20, 2020).

I created a shortcut to C:\Users\nacho\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe but it has the default/generic Windows icon:

I would prefer it to use the Windows Terminal icon:

But I cannot find the source icon anywhere so I can set it in the shortcut properties.

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but you can always download the icon from the github source tree here:

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:<useraccout@domain.local "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.16.10262.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wt.exe"

You can user "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.16.10262.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wt.exe"
for the icon.

I had this problem too - very weird!! Thanks @j4james for highlighting the location of the official icon file.
(My solution at the time was to download the rasterized PNG icon from the relevant Wikimedia Commons page then convert to ICO using some random ICO-converter-tool, but this way is much better!)

You can user "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.16.10262.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wt.exe" for the icon.

However, when it updates, its path changes. So it may not so stable.
