As you can see in screenshot - on desktop pdf files icons show edge icon. In explorer it shows some icon with pdf. How to change descktop icons for pdf file so they would be same as in explorer?
I have changed program for pdf files to open with to different program and icons changed. But computer owner did not like that they changed, so I am trying to set back. Found that making open with edge it sets back in explorer, but not in desktop. I am not sure before where they in desktop same as in explorer, but computer owner says they were.

You'll want the Desktop to view larger icons like those PDFs on the desktop as straight icons, not thumbnails
Try:
- Open up explorer
- Open the Desktop in explorer
- Open the View Tab in the Ribbon
- Open the folder Options menu on the right
- Open the View tab in the folder options menu
- Under "Files and Folders", check "Always show icons, never thumbnails"
Note that this will show all files on the desktop as icons, not thumbnails, including pictures & folders. Personally, this would drive me crazy. But hey, if that's what the owner wants, don't let me stop you.
