    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
