The .lnk can have its icon changed with a tool like Resource Hacker which places a different .ico file.
ALOT goes into delivering a crypted .exe, beyond just clicking a button that says "crypt". Signing, certing and hosting on an AGED domain with reputable traffic is just the surface.
Hope this helps.
I will side note, you still cannot download a .lnk directly from google chrome or browser because of abuse in the past few years.
Thank you so much for this explanation! I wish I could reward you with alot of β 🤑, but I'm poor so.
There are few people who really offer information like this so I'm really appreciative.

I just noticed you donated 500 β, Thank you so much. Now I'm not poor anymore 😆.
Is there any way to befriend someone on here or isn't that a thing?
