2 different windows icons for instance and normal Everything?

[Biff]

After the last restarts of the notebook I always had have two different icons here for both, the normal portable Everything (red) and the second instance (blue).

Shortcut:
J:\Programme\Everything\Everything64.exe -instance "Instant"





How could I get that instant / second instance with a blue icon for each of its open windows?

Hi,
Menu "File" - "New Search Window CTRL+N" works for me.

Hello,

Yes, yes, I did it (created / renamed that file, etc.) a few weeks ago, but today after a new start of Win, those (windows) icons were the same, not the other, smaller ones on the right side of the System Tray.


But suddenly the icons now are as they should be:


Didn't change anything (intentionally). So maybe one just has to wait (do nothing), until all of the problems will be solved automatically. But I do not understand at all (like always) why that had happened.

Many thanks!

When you first mentioned the issue here and here, I tried to solve it and I also got the same view,
i.e. unchanged/undesired icon colour for an Everything instance. Everything was started via the shortcut.
After I started the Everything instance via a button in Total Commander, the ICON colour was fine.

Here is the solution (unfortunately I did not think of it immediately):

Thank you for the links, yes, since then it was how it should be (until today).

Many thanks for the screenshots! Here the correct icon already is / was set. Maybe it was done automatically, by Win or Everything or whatever. I probably would have thought I would have done it according to your instructions (links above).

Maybe the reason was Windows that first displayed the wrong icon, not the slightest idea.

Thank you very much!
