Custom Widows Store Application Icon Fail

[christiansass]

OS: Windows 10
What I Was Doing: I was trying to make an icon for a Windows Store app ( OneCommander) by copying the path from the program location in the properties window
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\44576milosp.OneCommander_3.44.0.0_neutral__p0rg76fmnrgsm\Rapidrive
Tried pasting that in the "Target Path"

TileIconifier Version: v3.1.1.2 - x64
OS Version: 10.0.19045.0 - x64
Administrator?: Yes

System.IO.PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

I'm not sure you have the right path for One Commander. Try this: go to Task Manager and in the Processes column, locate One Commander and then right click. Select Open file location and then copy the path. This should give you the correct path to the app. Now in the Custom shortcut manager, open the other tab and paste the path you copied.

Make sure the path to your custom icon is less than 260 characters. You can copy the path and paste it into Notepad put the cursor at the end of the path and it will give you the character count at the bottom. (ln1, Col xx).

I no longer use this app as it has not been supported for years. I use Start11 from Stardock Software. It is way more flexible and allows custom icons for any tile on your Start menu.
