Thumbnail picture

[steve08]

Hi everyone, can someone please explain why my malwarebytes thumbnail has lost its picture to the right of the firefox icon and how i can get it back. This happened after i turned off my pc then turned it back on again??

Thanks...

Have you tried deleting the shortcut and adding it back again?

Hi Tw33k

Yes i have but as soon as i turn off/on the pc it resorts back to the pic i have posted.

 

[tw33k]

hmmm...can you right click it....choose properties and "change icon"?

 

[steve08]

No all that does is states "unpin program from taskbar" and tells me what the program is.

Hello Steve, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You would right click on the program in the pinned icon's jump list and click on properties, then see if changing the icon to the default one a few times may help restore it instead.

You might also see if rebuilding the icon cache may help to.

Hope this help,
Shawn

Hi Brink thanks for the welcome unfortunatly its still happening will have to try and sort this out tommorrow early morning start 5am!!!:shock:

Thanks all again.

Ok.

When you get the chance next, unpin this taskbar item, open the program directly from the exe file, then right click on it's taskbar icon and pin it to the taskbar to see if the icon works properly then.

Well brink i have tried your suggestion and its still not working guess i just have to keep it pinned on the start menu. Its most annoying because all the other icons are fine as you can see its just this one....:sarc:

 

[Brink]

Well, that or change the icon to a different or custom (256x256 pixel) one that may stay displayed instead.

 

[steve08]

How would i go about changing or customizing the icon??

Thanks

 

[Brink]

Just like you did from the post above.

If you use a icon of your own, then it needs to be a 256x256 pixel Vista icon.
