View Full Version : Blank (Generic) Icons INSIDE Folders

This is driving me nuts. I can't find a single topic online about this.

If I put a shortcut to a program inside a folder, the icon stays.

If I put a shortcut to a website inside a folder, the icon goes generic.

If I drag that generic shortcut icon out of the folder onto the desktop, the normal icon reappears.

Can this be fixed? HELP!

(Windows XP)

PS: In IE7 I found a workaround, but it doesn't work in Firefox.

Properties > Change Icon doesn't help

For those who may be interested, PROBLEM SOLVED!

Open folder > View > Change from TILES to ICONS

So simple, it makes me sick...
