Hi
You can update the icon of a shortcut by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting "Properties". Then, click on the "Change Icon" button and select the new icon you want to use.
Hope the information is helpful.

This does not work for all Icons. The shortcut I am trying to assign an icon to has the Change Icon option grayed out.
