Hi @Tasya Salsabila ,

Many applications create their own custom non-editable shortcuts like the Microsoft Office ones that you provided in the screenshot.

You can always make your own shortcut from the target itself by finding that target in File explorer, the shortcut you make will allow you to change icons.
