Default Missing SH3 desktop shortcut icon

No biggie, but my fresh vanilla Steam installation for SH3 has a blank square for the desktop shortcut. I decided to install this classic on my fairly new i7 Win 10 desktop and play again. The game installed and runs fine from the shortcut but the classic looking icon is missing. Does anyone know where on my system it could be hiding or where the executable for it is located so I may create a new one? I have all other SH sims installed and they all have the correct icons. Thanks!
(I uninstalled and reinstalled it but to no avail).

edit: I was able to find the Steam installation folder (I installed it on a secondary drive). There I located the shortcut I needed. Now all is well. Thank you to those who responded.

go to the root of your game installation
This kind of thing is not a problem you can easily fix it by right clicking send to Desktop create a shortcut this is elementary in computer science my dear friend...
