Registry Backup Generic Icon

[Homer712]

Although everything seems to work correctly (OK, so this is a really, really small point!), the icon for Registry Backup in the Start Menu (as well as in the program's folder) is generic. I've tried reinstalling a couple of times, but nothing works. When I right click on the program shortcut in the Start Menu, go to "properties", and then "change icon" I get the statement "Windows can't find the file %Program Files%\Tweaking.com\Registry Backup\TweakingRegistryBackup.exe".

Just wanted to add that the program itself, in the Program Files (x86)\Tweaking.com\Registry Backup\ has the same generic icon as well (so it would make sense that the shortcut has the same generic icon). Although, if I right click on that generic icon in the program's directory, and go to "properties" the real icon does show in the dialog box that pops up.

Any ideas?

I came across the same problems:
1. Generic icon: Perhaps this thread provides an answer:

Do you have a AV program installed ? If you have two AV programs running (e.g. AVAST & MS Windows Defender) then you should switch off one AV program. I would recommend switching off MS Defender.

2. "Windows can't find ........": I think it's a minor bug in the installation program Tweaking .com uses for a number of its programs.

Thanks. I focused on #2 in your post. Noticed that there was a "portable" version of Registry Backup on this site. Downloaded that, unzipped and copied just the "TweakingRegistryBackup.exe" (it had the correct program icon) from that folder to the Programs (x.86) directory that was created by the Registry Backup installer . . . problem solved. Thanks again.
