How to change portable firefox and google chrome icon in windows 7

Question

I'm customizing my desktop based on the one that I saw yesterday at howtogeek. As you can see I am able to change the icon of Firefox. but when I launch it. It opens another one (I now have two Firefox icons on the taskbar). What do I do so that when I click the one that is pinned on the taskbar, it doesn't open up another?

And how do I change the Chrome icon when I launch it? They're both portable.

Answer 1

Create a shortcut to whatever program, and then pin that to the taskbar. The icons of shortcuts are much more amenable to change.

I don't know what's causing the firefox icon to duplicate, so that might still happen.
