It might be useful if :

• You deleted your shortcut by accident,
  
• You want to learn things, or just want to read something from boredom,
  
• You want to check how it works,
  
• You want to know how to put a custom icon to Garry's Mod.

Note : It might work for other Steam games obviously, what you need to have is the game ID and directory.

It might be easy, I wonder.

If you're some guy with ALOT of windows on your screen, please press this thing :



Or press Win+M, it will be more easy.

Right click the desktop, and slide to New, and click on Shortcut.

After clicking the thingy, you will see some scary Windows window.


You're gonna paste what's below, on the window textbar.


It will show this :


Please do not type New Internet Shortcut, it won't break the game but it's really ugly.

Put what's below.

Or if you want to be more creative :

Put everything you want, it's your desktop.

You will end up by something like this :


Trust me, I don't want to end up having this white paper as my GMod icon, else I would vomit every time I want to start it.

Don't worry, putting the original icon of it is pretty simple.

You are going to right click the icon you have created, and click Properties :


On the window that will appear, click the Change Icon... button.


It will show a bunch of system icons, you're going to paste this :

Inside the shown textbar :


Press Enter, and, in normal cases, it will show this :


Click OK, click OK again, and done !



If clicked, it will start Garry's Mod with Steam, enjoy !

Originally posted by you, maybe.:

Can i put a custom icon ?

Oh, in case you want to do this, rewind the steps from "You are going to right click the icon you have created...", and once you are there again :


Click the textbar, and put the directory you put your icon. It should be a DLL, EXE or ICO.
I'm going to put for example :

I pressed Enter, and it displays this :


Click the icon, and click OK and OK again.

It should be done !


I hope it helps, enjoy !
