How to change PDF icon for MS Edge

Dear MicrosoftCommunity, MS Edge91 is a superb version and this is the only version which I was waiting for to completely switch from Chrome to edge but here again, a problem raised, the PDF Icon of MS Edge is not very...
Therefore I want a solution by which I can change that icon of "PDF" in red to the icon of Edge "e". Just like PDFs in chrome have the icon of Chrome, is there any way by which I can change that default icon (shown in ScreenShot below) to one like the "E" of Edge? Waiting for any Response from Community.

Dear ARJUN2000HP,

Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

Unfortunately, There is no way to change the PDF icon opens with Microsoft Edge as it is designated with the image you have attached.

The only thing you can do is move that file to some location, then create a shortcut to that file and change the icon on the Shortcut, from the right click, Properties > Shortcut tab > Change Icon.

PS: It will change the icon of that file not the whole PDF files in you computer.

Please let me know if you need further assistance and keep me updated.
Sincerely,

Dyari Barham
