Google Chrome Icon

    The Google Chrome icon at the bottom of my home screen has changed recently from the circular coloured Chrome icon to the icon having a little 'person/guest' icon on it. What is the cause of this and how do I change it back to what it was?

    Not using chrome so can't say "why", chrome themselves potentially make it to display your profile picture with update.

    I would say: "who cares what icon it is, as long i can recognize what program it points to", but if you have this type obsession or other reason...

    If you are talking about icon on taskbar or desktop on Windows

    Icons usually stored in folder "visualelements" or similar, its either .ICO or .PNG extension in program directory (C:\Program Files\yourprogram) or subfolder.

    You might/can create and safe whatever icon you like and use it. Tools available online for free. There is limitation regards image size.
