So I’ve tried to pin TF2 to the taskbar and succeeded (obviously), but when I pin it the TF2 icon changes to hl2.exe icon.

Any ideas on how to change this to stay the TF2 icon? :D

Does it really matter? ._.

Try changing hl.exe’s icon.

Quoted from feeling

Right-click the HL2 icon, right-click the HL2 icon in the little popup, click properties, click change icon and go to this path:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/resource/game.ico

I corrected myself, please edit your post after doing this :)

Nope doesnt work either :( Can’t even change the icon from properties. Tried to move hl2.exe to Desktop and then pin it but appears the following message:

Setup file ‘gameinfo.txt’ doesn’t exist in subdirectory ‘hl2’. Check your game parameter or VCONFIG setting.

What comes to my mind is changing the icons from C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/hl/resource/game.ico to the ones you said. But i read i could get VAC banned from messing with the .exe files(?) and if I only change the game.ico it automatically restores the hl2 icon

Why would moving the hl2.exe make any sense..? Make a shortcut to it yeah but moving the exe?

That was what I meant lel Sryy x)

Quoted from Rake

If you make a shortcut from steam it won’t be an actual shortcut. You need to make a shortcut manually, point it at steam.exe and add -applaunch 440 in the path, ie. “c:/program files(x86)/steam/steam.exe” -applaunch 440
Then change the icon and pin it to your taskbar and voila.

Well it seemed to work but this is what happened: http://i.imgur.com/Pct5pDK.gif
