No icon for web page shortcuts in Windows Explorer

[dbminter]

My icons for shortcuts to web pages in Windows Explorer has disappeared. Web page shortcuts on the Desktop have the proper icon, but not in folders in Windows Explorer. They display the default "no icon" icon. Refresh TRIES to get them to appear as they show up briefly, but, then immediately return to the no icon icon. I've tried changing the icons for individual shortcuts, but, they don't change. Any ideas?

Delete %userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db and reboot.

I tried that, but, I don't think I rebooted afterwards. Let me try that.

Didn't work. Worked temporarily. Then, it immediately reset itself back to the no icon icon. This is not just on webpages, but also the folder icon for folders shortcuts stopped working, replaced by the no icon icon.

Had to restore all the way back to Friday to get it working again!

Happened again! Had to restore a daily backup from yesterday to fix it! Am going to add a shortcut for a daily Scheduled Task job for me to check this every day after the backup runs.

I discovered what was causing this. It was uninstalling a past version of Windows 7 Manager from Add/Remove Programs. For whatever reason, it's an installer that every time a new installer is run for new updates, it adds the same Add/Remove entry each time, resulting in multiple entries. Some older versions, though, need to be manually uninstalled before installing new updates to Windows 7 Manager, so, it's a catch 22.
