Fixes blank icons of Steam desktop shortcuts in Windows.

Requirements

deno 2

Permissions

-N Loads icon files from Steam CDN

-R Reads Steam folder and shortcut files

-W Fixes broken shortcuts and recovers icon files in your Steam folder

--allow-run Runs reg.exe to find Steam installation path in Windows registry (only if default path wasn't found)

Usage

Via command line

Fix icons in the current folder:

cd C:/Users/<username>/Desktop

deno run -N -R -W --allow-run jsr:@mrsimb/steam-blank-icon

Fix in specific folders:

deno run -N -R -W --allow-run jsr:@mrsimb/steam-blank-icon "C:/Users/<username>/Desktop/Games" "E:/Games"

Fix specific icons:

deno run -N -R -W --allow-run jsr:@mrsimb/steam-blank-icon "E:/Games/Hades.url" "E:/Games/Cave Story.url"

Use --steampath flag to specify steam installation path (if auto detection fails):

deno run -N -R -W --allow-run jsr:@mrsimb/steam-blank-icon --steampath="E:/Apps/Steam"

You can omit permission flags if you want to be asked before taking any action:

deno run jsr:@mrsimb/steam-blank-icon

Via .bat script

Create a file called fix.bat and paste this code:

deno run -N -R -W --allow-run jsr:@mrsimb/steam-blank-icon %*
pause

Then save it and just drag & drop a folder or files onto fix.bat.
