How to get GUID of a specific desktop icon?


I want to get a GUID from desktop icon to use it in registry (as shown in here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11543258/15218705). Is there any way to do that?


Solution

  • As Simon Mourier answered not every desktop icon has a GUID (Known ones https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3123-clsid-key-guid-shortcuts-list-windows-10-a.html)
