Description
Currently, the RustDesk logo/application icon is stored in the user-specific AppData directory. As a result, other user accounts on the same system may not be able to display the correct RustDesk icon.
Expected Behavior
The logo/icon should be stored in the application's installation directory (e.g., under "Program Files") instead of AppData, allowing all users on the system to access the same icon file.
Benefits
The RustDesk icon is visible for all user accounts.
Avoids creating duplicate icon files for each user.
Provides more consistent behavior in multi-user environments.
Shortcuts and file associations can reference a single centralized icon file.
Suggested Solution
Copy the icon file to the application installation directory during installation and reference it from there instead of storing it in each user's AppData profile.

Research direction
Start by locating the installation logic and the current code that stores or references the icon in AppData. Trace how shortcuts and file associations obtain the icon, then verify that installation places one shared icon in the application directory and that other user accounts can access it.
