Desktop shortcuts with no icon image
A number of shortcuts on my desktop (always the same few, I don't know what they have in common) are appearing without their associated icon image. I tried rebuilding the icon cache, based on the tutorial here (and running the batch file):
Icon Cache - Rebuild
and it works for a boot or two, then it's back to blanks. If I move the said shortcuts to a folder, like the C Drive, the icons show up just fine, but move them back on the desktop, blank again. Creating new shortcuts is fine, but they go blank as soon as I move them to the desktop. And as I say, it is affecting only some of the shortcuts (diverse, not from the same sources); most are OK.
If rebuilding the icon cache isn't working, I am not sure what else to try. I had his problem in the past, every six months or so, and rebuilding the cache used to fix things for some months, but not any more.
Thanks for further help.
