PromotedIcon1 specifies an icon to be shown in the
visible system notification area on the taskbar in place of the
Action Center icon.
Up to four system notification icons are shown in the visible portion of the system notification area on the desktop. By default, these icons are Action Center, Battery—if the system hardware includes battery support—Network, and Volume.
By setting the PromotedIcon1 component, you can select another icon to be visible in the system notification area. This icon will appear in place of the Action Center icon.
To select the icon to be visible, you must:
- Select an application file that includes a
system notification icon. This application file must be signed.
- Set both the Path and GUID
elements for the file.
For information about specifying the GUID for your icon, see NOTIFYICONDATA Structure.
