Desktop Shortcut Icons.

Hello Noel,

After several cold reboots I still do not have it. I
checked Folder Options and the three relevant boxes remain
unchecked. It was there when I checked it on receiving
your first response. Then came those 'experimentations'
coupled with the 'proving' using Delindex and PurgeIE (as
in my other posts).

I had a similar experience with the reluctance of Me (my
version!)to recreate the C:\Windows\Temp folder I manually
recreated it several times - it finally came back of it's
own accord. Can I recreate the shelliconcache in the same
way? This was it's path wasn't it C:\Windows\...?

And no registry/desktop tweakers.

Cheers, Noel,

Ben.

The ShellIconCache folder is hidden by default, Ben -
and always rebuilt on
a reboot if missing!
are you using some form of resident registry/desktop
tweaker??

Hello Job,

It doesn't give me the icon picture. But I see I have
lost
my shelliconcache folder and that may explain why.

I would like to ask you if these picture icons remain in
place after a cold reboot and after you clear all your
caches?

BTW the link you first gave me takes me to a map of "The
Powerful Sumatra-Andaman Islands Earthquake" not that
that
matters.

Thanks, Job.

Hi again Ben,

Yes it does "other" for me. I just tried it again. I
went
to the web page and right-clicked with the cursor
sitting
over some of the text, selected "Create Shortcut"
clicked
OK
and got an icon of Saturn on my Desktop. Guess you can
right click anywhere on the page (except where the
pointer
turns into a hand).

Hello Joe,
Thanks for responding. I used your URL and was able to
place a shortcut on the desktop but it had the I.E.
icon
logo, nothing inspirational in other words. Does it do
other for you?
Thanks.
Ben.

I'm not sure this helps but it works for me. Go to
the
web
page that you want a shortcut for. Right-click a
blank
area
of the page, select "Create Shortcut", click OK.

As a test go to
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html and
try
the
steps above.

Hi,

Some of the icons which appear when a desktop
shortcut
is
created (FileSendShortcut to Desktop) are
attractive,
but a reboot will always replace them with the MS
I.E.
logo.

Is there a way of preventing this replacement?

Thanks.

They stay in place after I do a Restart. I expect they will
also stay in place after coming back up when I do a
Shutdown.

I don't clear caches (don't know how to nor do I know why I
would want to).

BTW the link you first gave me takes me to a map of "The
Powerful Sumatra-Andaman Islands Earthquake" not that that
matters.

You went to the right place and got the right screen.

If you give him enough information I'm sure Noel can help
you out.


Thanks, Job.
