Windows 10/Windows Edge

July 30, 2015 12:09:29 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I just installed  Windows 10. I want to add an icon to objectdock so I can launch Windows Edge. I can find no way to do this. Help!

Normally you just drag the executable and drop it right on the dock.

If it has no icon displayed or if it does not work try this:
Close Objectdock.
Launch Objectdock with administrative privileges.
Right click Objectdock executable then select launch as Admin.
Once loaded drag and drop edge executable onto the dock.

If it has no icon displayed then right click and apply one for it.
Let me know if it worked.

I can not drag and drop the icon into objectdock like the others and I can not find an executable for it. When I look at 'properties', there is no executable. It shows to be over in app data/roaming with no executable.  Will not help to do as you suggested. I have tried all I know.

Mhh ok try this. 

Right click or press and hold on an empty area on your desktop, and click/tap on New and Shortcut. 
 Copy and paste the location below into the location area, 


 %windir%\explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge

press next 
now name it Microsoft Edge for the name, and click on the Finish button.

move the shortcut to a destination where you like it ( if you dont want to have it on your desktop )



Again launch Objectdock as admin.
And drag the shortcut you just created onto it or right click objectdock and add it manually.


If you find this too confusing 
here is a tutorial for the shortcut explained step by step

Thanks! That worked. I did not need to run as admin. Tried it and didn't work. Just created the shortcut and dragged it down. I could have done it but could not find the executable.

Yes MS has hidden it well. What a ridiculous folder name.
