Open Registry Editor.
-
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:

Create the following key:

Note: As always, before making changes to your registry you should always make sure you have a valid backup. In cases where you're supposed to delete or modify keys or values from the registry it is possible to first export that key or value(s) to a .REG file before performing the changes.

Close Registry Editor.
There is no need to reboot. Just wait a few seconds and see how the icon appears:
