How can I get the original icon HP Quick Launch (NOT the shortcut!) on my DESKTOP?

I have a HP 2000 t - 2d 00 Notebook PC with operating system Windows 8.1.  The computer was recently repaired, but when I bought it, it had initially provided with HP Quick Start icon (square blue tile - like appearance with the rocket / is NOT a shortcut with an arrow inside!)

Once it has been repaired, the original official HP QuickStart icon was on the desk.

However, something happened, I have no idea what (!), and the original official HP QuickStart icon disappeared from the desktop!

I would be very happy if someone could tell me how to get the original icon HP Quick Start (blue tile in appearance as square with the rocket) on my desk.

I don't want a shortcut; I know how to create a shortcut!  I am certainly difficult and would like to have some things on the desktop exactly the way they were when I came to the computer.

Thank you very much to all those who can help me.

You missed my questions in my first reply to your message!  The link you provided for the program that can get rid of the arrows on the desktop shortcut icons does not have audio, or am I missing something?

And since you said I could try a system restore before that the icon has been "modified" - does this mean that the original icon, when I got the computer brand new, * has * indeed an icon for HP Quick Launch / is NOT a shortcut?

Thank you.

Hey @BJ22 ,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I understand you are trying to add the quick launch of HP on the desktop of your laptop.

The icons on the desktop for programs preinstalled by HP are actually shortcuts. The executable file can be moved from its installed location without breaking the connection to the .dll for the software files.

If the arrow bothers you, you can use this light application to remove the arrows from shortcut icons: Windows shortcut arrow editor.

You can also try to restore until the icon has been changed. Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).

I hope that it is a viable solution for you.
