Browser URL desktop icons display 14x14 on 40x40 white background
The URL picture icons (the favicon designs) on my desktop display in size 14x14 pixels (tiny) on a 40x40 pixels white background. This is when I have medium size icons. Similar phenomena appears when scaling icon size up/down. I have searched extensively but not found the problem described elsewhere. System is Win 7 64 SP1 and newest browser versions as of today. It is quite annoying. Not really a good user experience on a small HD screen.
Further description:
- URL icons earlier displayed only as white "sheets of paper". I got to where I am now by refreshing each URL icon on the desktop by re-adding the icon to the desktop, dragging it from the FireFox URL line ('copy and replace'). I have tried same approach with IE 10 and Chrome while having each of these browsers as the default. They don't place any favicon designed URL icons on the desktop, only generic IE or Chrome icons - but in full size as they should be.
- I have tried deleting the icon cache. which makes no difference.
- Installed the program IconPackager and changed Windows default icons to something new and then back again. For someone this helped with a different icons issue. In this case it made no difference.
- Windows icons behave as they should. They are not getting smaller, nor are they displayed on white background.
Help on this issue will be appreciated.
