I don't think you can, as it indicates that icon is a
shortcut.

It can be easily removed by either using Tweak or editing the registry:

Start | Run "regedit" (no quotes) and click OK.

Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT:

Click on internetShortcut and in the right-hand pane rename isShortcut to
Shortcut

Click on lnkfile and in the right-hand pane rename isShortcut to Shortcut

Click on piffile and in the right-hand pane rename isShortcut to Shortcut

Winpersonalizer can change or hide the shortcut icon!
