– Right click your newly created SkyDrive icon and choose “Properties” – Click on “Change Icon” – You should see this: – Replace “C:\Windows\Explorer.exe” with “C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll” in the “Look for icons in this file:” field, Then hit Enter.My desktop icons are not showing. After some googling I found the right one (Thanks to panagosm from one of the CNET chat forums) So…. DLL files within System32 which contain icon files. – Right click on your desktop, choose “New” then “Shortcut” – The “Create shortcut” Window will open, then click “Browse.” – Chose your SkyDrive folder, then click “OK” -Now your screen should look something like this: – Now comes the most important part, you’re going to want to type “Explorer ” with a space, in front of “D:\Skydrive” – It should look like this: Explorer D:\Skydrive – Then click “Next” – Rename your shortcut from “Explorer” to “SkyDrive” then click “Finish” Now you should see this somewhere on your Desktop: Gross right? That’s unacceptable! If you right click and try to change the icon you will not find the actual SkyDrive icon by default, you’re going to have to find one of the. So after some googling I found this cool little tip from ( ) I wasn’t too far off with my first attempt, so this is what you need to do in order to be able to pin the SkyDrive shortcut to your taskbar. I first tried manually creating a shortcut (right click on your desktop then choose “new” then “shortcut”) and pointed it to my SkyDrive location, but I still got the same result as above. This enraged me, I’ve had my SkyDrive icon on the taskbar for a long time, sure, I still have the option of creating a shortcut on my desktop, but no, I’m sorry, that’s not gonna cut it. So after I updated my Windows 8 installation to 8.1, my SkyDrive icon was gone! No biggie right? just go back to the icon, right click and then choose “Pin to Taskbar”…guess what! it aint there!
However now with Windows 8.1 SkyDrive is heavily integrated within the O.S (Which is a good thing)
I use SkyDrive a lot and I loved having the possibility to pin the Skydrive shortcut icon on my task bar like so:
