Firefox Icon went missing in Windows 7? Here’s a Fix
After installing the latest and greatest Mozilla Firefox 3.5 in Windows 7 (RC 64-bit) I noticed that after a while the icon went missing. Now Firefox was still working correctly, and when I checked the icon properties the icon was still present. But for some strange reason it wouldn’t show up in on my Desktop, my Start Menu, or my Taskbar, I would just see a broken icon.
The resolution? Rebuilding the Windows 7 Icon Cache.
Follow these directions:
- Close all folder windows that are currently open.
- Launch Task Manager using the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC key sequence, or by running taskmgr.exe
- In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process
- Click the End process button when asked for confirmation.
- From the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run…)
- Type CMD.EXE, and click OK
- In the Command Prompt window, type the commands one by one and press ENTER after each command:
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a
EXIT - In Task Manager, click File, select New Task (Run…)
- Type EXPLORER.EXE, and click OK.
Your icons should be as good as new!

I have noticed you don’t monetize your page, don’t waste
your traffic, you can earn additional bucks every month
because you’ve got high quality content. If
you want to know how to make extra $$$, search for:
