Description

If you create a desktop shortcut for the Windows version, no icon is supplied so Windows uses this piece of stand-in sadness.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the Windows desktop-shortcut creation entry point and the resources used for its icon. Done means creating a Windows desktop shortcut displays the application's icon instead of the default stand-in.
