FavIcons not showing correctly in the file Explorer, but display correctly in Internet Explorer.

Please note: this is the opposite of what people usually describe their problem in.

I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

My favicon display correctly in the Explorer of files (file mode) but display correctly in Internet Explorer. This intrigues me. When I open the Internet Explorer, icons for Favorites OK show to the left of the name of the shortcut file in the Favorites bar and the Favorites bar. However, when I open Windows File Explorer and check out my favorites and folders, the FavIcons are the generic icons globe, not specific icons to websites that shortcuts point to. The links work well. It's just that the FavIcons are generic globes. (Not all, but many). I want the correct FavIcons to show in the view of Windows File Explorer.

I tried to revisit web sites and dragging the URL (and favicon) of the bar of address of IE in the "Favorites" folder again. Who has not solved the problem. I tried to go to the page of the site and to type the favicon.ico extension and save it, but windows won't let me save it. (Where can they be saved? And how would be attributed to the shortcut in the file Explorer file? Or is it not the way to solve the problem?)

Is there a way to fix this without having to download an app/program? Is there a way to solve this problem without changing the registry? Or is the simple registry change?

I want the correct Favicons to display in the file Explorer, and Internet Explorer.

Please answer in plain English, not in words irritable. If you propose a procedure, please explain where everything is (how to find things click on what you recommend.)

Thanks in advance for the help.

IT IS THE ANSWER. A MODERATOR WOULD MARK IT AS THE ANSWER, OR REPLY TO IT, SO I CAN MARK THE ANSWER. IT SEEMS ABSURD THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO POST AN ANSWER TO OUR QUESTION AND POWER OF THE BRAND AS THE ANSWER. Thank you.

I searched and found the answer. Also, I realized I had encountered this problem about two years ago and had saved the info of the solution in a Notepad file. On the site, the answer given by Chris H is the solution. It is to delete the icon cache of .db database and allowing windows to create a new. My problem was that the favicons for several favorite shortcuts of IE showed the purple globe (ugly) credits. After that I deleted the icon cache database file, a new file has been created and my favicons are correct for each shortcut.

(Both methods are given in the he.) I list the instructions for the first method, which worked for me. You can click on this page for more information).

There are a few things you can try:

First: (icon Cache regeneration)

1. open Folder Options to select (round) display the hidden files and folders.
2. open a Windows Explorer window.
3. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
4. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
5. click on Yes to confirm the deletion.
NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
6. close the window.
7 empty the trash.
8 restart the computer.
9. When you return, you'll notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
NOTE: If for some reason any IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed much, then just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
10. the icon cache has been rebuilt.
11. Open Folder Options to select (round) do not show the hidden files and folders.

    Hello

    In Windows 7, the AllUsers folder is not a real file.

    It is a symbolic link that redirects to the C:\ProgramData folder.

    ProgramData is not hidden, by default.

    The correct syntax for the Attrib command would be,

    C:\>attrib h ProgramData

    You can view all files by going to the tab options\View Organize\Folder and research.

  • FTP - open the site in question from the file Explorer.

    Hi all

    I am here today with a common question, which seems to have been answered several times, but none of the above worked for me.

    My problem is the following:

    • http://prntscr.com/39ebdv

    It's my current installation:

    • Ubuntu Server running 12.04 with installed ProFTPd.
    • Windows 7 computer (desktop) and laptop.
    • Windows File Explorer.

    Here's what I tested, and what are the results I get:

    On my two main computers, each running Windows 7, I get the image displayed above. (For those of you who cannot see the image, there are a stain on the bottom of this question). However, I tried it on two other computers in my LAN, and they work. I also tried on a computer in a different city, and it works. My FTP address is the following: "ftp://ftp.marshalldrive.ca" without the quotes.

    Here are some solutions I've tried:

    1. with the help of Internet Explorer (my current browser is Google Chrome), pressing 'Alt - view-> in the file Explorer view', I get the error displayed.

    2. turn off my firewall and my anti-virus, same results.

    3. go to the file Explorer Windows and in the address bar: "ftp://ftp.marshalldrive.ca" (without the quotes)

    4 import a registry that looks like this: http://prntscr.com/39ee2j (code shown below), using the above, didn't work.

    5. copy of the record of one of the other computers to work.

    6. release of Google Chrome and using IE.

    That's all.

    When you use the browser (IE, GC, PSC), I can type in ftp://ftp.marshalldrive.ca, and it works. However, it does not work when I try to display in the folder view. I get the above error.

    Why am I trying to do?

    -I know FileZilla exists and many others. I like the simple layout of the windows Explorer, and it is easier for the elderly to use to use F.Z. I also prefer not having to install anything and using the built-in module.

    IF anyone can help me I can help you in return. I am creating a file storage system, and I can give you free space on my server.

    No Image error:

    "Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure that you typed the filename correctly and that you are authorized to access the folder.

  • Envy 17-j020us, cannot cut/copy and paste in the file Explorer

    I can cut/copy and paste the url and the text to speech, etc, but I am unable to cut/copy and paste files in Windows File Explorer. I tried malwarebytes and virus programs running. HP support has tried to access remotely to identify the problem without success. Y at - it another option in addition to a factory reset or restore point? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi jdavis33811,

    Have you tried the three methods of cutting and pasting? Using the keyboard shortcuts CTRL-X CTRL-V, right click on the file and selecting cut, then using the tape from the file Explorer / File menu.

    If you have tried all three, the next thing to try is a boot minimum to see if something is in the background to block the order. A clean boot loads Windows with the drivers and the minimal software. This link of Support technique Microsoft will show you how do it.

    Once you have made the clean boot try three methods of cutting and pasting. If it works the next step is to go back to msconfig (see Microsoft link above) and enable half the services you shut-off valve to the clean boot. Then try to cut and paste again. Keep half of the remaining services that allows until you cannot cut and paste, then disable half of the services that you just active. This, until what specify you what service has problem.

    If after all that you still have a problem then the next step would be to backup your files on an external hard drive or a USB flash drive and then doing a complete System Recovery.

  • Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
    "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

    Any help would be really appreciated!
