Update Firefox 3.6.9 has removed some app icons. Skype, Pidgin and Firefox, to name a few. Someone at - experienced this behavior?

After you install which seemed to be an update of FF (3.6.9 version), icons on my desktop are broken. I just see generic filetype icons. All programs work as expected, but the icons have disappeared.
Win7 32 bit
Core i5 clocked at 2.66 GHz

Sounds like a corruption of the Windows icon cache.

You can try to reset (delete) the file iconcache.db.

You can try to reset the Windows icon cache.

  • Open the task (Ctrl + Shift + ESC) Manager
  • In the processes tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select end process.
  • Open the file picker via ' file > new task (run) "and click on the Browse button.
  • Type or paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the file name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
  • Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete on the shortcut menu to delete the file.
  • After that the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process through "file > new task" for the job and work the taskbar to return.

It is possible that the IconCache.db file is a hidden file, and in this case you must enable the display of hidden files. You can verify that you can see the file before doing above mentioned as follows.
