Hello my friends,
I only have one hhd (1TB) in my desktop and I shrank my C drive, copied & pasted all games that downloaded from steam (GTAV COD blk ops3, CSGO, payday2, etc.) to the new drive.

All games' icon became blank...even though these games still working, but I don't like the "white paper" icon...
please help!
thank you!

Because you transferred all of your steam games from your C: drive.

And no doubt created another partition on the 1Tb drive.

Where you put your steam games the drive should now be D: where the steam games now reside.
Example D:\steam\steam

All of the icons that were on your desktop are now invalid because the drive letter has changed and the path to each game.

You can delete all of your current Icons on the windows desk top desktop.

On the drive you copied all of your steam games, if you duplicated the steam folders.
Click on steam, then you should see another folder named steam.
Click inside that folder.
Right click on each game Icon.
Select send to.
And select Desktop create shortcut.

Do this for each game you have downloaded...

Do this for each game you have downloaded and installed via steam to get a working launch icon for each game from the windows desktop ok.
