How to make icon appear next to window custom shell entry?

Question

Here is what I did to add a custom shell entry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Shows "Open ConsoleZ Here" when right clicking a directory
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ConsoleZ]
@="Open ConsoleZ Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ConsoleZ\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\ConsoleZ\\Console.exe"

; Shows "Open ConsoleZ Here" when right clicking a file
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ConsoleZ]
@="Open ConsoleZ Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ConsoleZ\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\ConsoleZ\\Console.exe"

; Shows "Open ConsoleZ Here" when right clicking desktop or background
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\ConsoleZ]
@="Open ConsoleZ Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\ConsoleZ\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\ConsoleZ\\Console.exe"

How should I modify this to make an icon appear next to my custom shell entry?

I tried the answer posted here again and it worked. For prosperity:

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ConsoleZ]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ConsoleZ]

"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\ConsoleZ\\Console.exe"
"Position"="Top"
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ConsoleZ\command]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ConsoleZ\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\ConsoleZ\\Console.exe -d \"%V\""

; Shows "Open ConsoleZ Here" when right clicking a file that is not executable
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ConsoleZ]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ConsoleZ]
