Here's a proper icon file for the Windows shortcut, created from the OR icon files themselves: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z5tvshqb8u967uk/OR.ico?dl=0. If you pin it in the taskbar, though, it'll look just like the running instance of OR, which can get a little confusing.
What I found is that in the shortcut, saying "...cmd.exe /c START javaw..." caused the cmd window to close immediately after launch. By also selecting RUN: Minimized (that's in the shortcut Properties dialog) the window never shows at all.
