Firefox icon is missing on html files and chage like white paper icon.

I am still facing this problem. I have used these articles:-

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/262-control-panel-view-category-icons.html

I have downloaded "All_Default_File_Extentions" & updated my registry file.

It changes for a while but after some time it come like white paper icon.

Firefox is my default browser. Please help me to sort out this problem.

Try doing it like this, maybe it'll fix it.

Before you proceed, you will need to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" as mentioned in this article:

-> Open the Task Manager by using CTRL + SHIFT + ESC shorkeys

  • In the Processes tab, right-click on Explorer.exe process and select End Process
  • Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click 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 in the right-click context menu to delete the file
  • After the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back

Check and tell if its working.

Thanks!
