OT: adding icon in context menu for AVG free?

[MitchellWmA]

Is there a way to add an icon to the AVG context menu item? AVG
anti-spyware has one and AVG anti-virus doesn't and I find myself
hitting the a-s one instead of the a-v. I've tried everything I know
but nothing works. I'm guessing this isn't the same, then, as
changing file associations, etc. Does anyone know if this can be
done? thanx

Could you find the .exe file in Windows Explorer? If so, right click on it
and select "Create shortcut". You could park the shortcut on the desktop or,
possibly, find the context menu with Explorer and park it there.

Hi, yes. Thank you. That's what one does if one wants a shortcut. I
need to add the icon image itself to the context menu entry that AVG
installs when it installs the app. I don't know why it is, but the
AVG anti-spyware that it took over Ewido has the AVG icon for the
anti-virus does not so I frequently click it instead of the a- option
and I'd like to add my own icon to the context menu entry for it so
that I see it and click it instead. A lot more complicated than just
doing a simple shortcut, for sure! **g**
