Add an icon on the Troubleshoot Compatibility context menu

I'm trying to add an icon on the Troubleshoot Compatibility context menu.

I can manage to get any permissions to modify the reg key "{1d27f844-3a1f-4410-85ac-14651078412d}" and add the REG_SZ Sting Value Name: Icon Data: %SystemRoot%\diagnostics\system\PCW\DiagPackage.dll but this is not seems to work like that:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1d27f844-3a1f-4410-85ac-14651078412d}]
"MUIVerb"="Troubleshoot Compatibility"
"Icon"="%SystemRoot%\diagnostics\system\PCW\DiagPackage.dll"

I tried also under the batfile, cmdfile, exefile, lnkfile, Msi.Package, keys or under its sub-keys shellex\ContextMenuHandlers but didn't work either.

I would appreciate any help, thanks in advanced.
