Custom icon to a link in USB Drive with relative path

I have to distribute a project in several USB Drives. Inside them there's a folder containing the entire project (which will be made hidden) and a link to it with a custom icon applied.

The problem is that if I insert the USB Drive in another PC, the name of the drive changes (D , E , F ..) and the custom icon is no longer applied to the link, as the initial path is changed.

So I tried to create a desktop.ini file with inside: [.ShellClassInfo] IconResource=..\icon.ico,0

But it doesn't work. Is there a way to apply the icon to the link so it works on different pc's?

If the icon.ico file is directly inside the folder, then you don't need ..\ It should be like this

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconResource=icon.ico,0
