Guide: Make a lovely Desktop Icon for Sea of Thieves

  • Make a custom desktop icon for Sea of Thieves using this guide.

    Step 1: Copy the Following Text:

    %windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}

    Step 2: Open File Explorer (Press windows key and type File Explorer)

    Step 3: Paste the text you just copied into the address bar and press Enter

    Step 4: Right Click on the Sea of Thieves icon and click Create shortcut, a pop up will ask you if you want to create it on the Desktop, Click Yes.

    Step 5 Optional: Download this Sea of Thieves icon file. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/272882986901307392/425780382722686977/SOTicon.ico
    (it's a good idea to save the icon file somewhere it won't be deleted, I saved mine in the Pictures folder)
    Step 6 Optional: Right click the Sea of Thieves Icon on your desktop, Click Change Icon.
    Step 7 Optional: Find the Icon you downloaded and select it, congrats you are done (:

    If you want to make your own Icon file Google "PNG to ICO" and you can make whatever icon you want. I used an online converter, no download or installation needed.

  • Once you have already installed Sea Of Thieves it will auto populate a recent icon on your start menu (windows 10). Just click and hold to drag to the desktop. You're welcome.

    You're right, Initially I was typing windows key+sea to bring up the shortcut for sea of thieves and couldn't drag and drop it or make a copy of it so I used this alternate method.

  • Worked amazingly thank you.

  • I am don't find this file: explorer.exe shell ::: {4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1} . Please help me!
