I don't have duplicates - its just that the shortcut arrow is missing and replaced by a rectangle with coloured dots in it.

1113902 2010-07-15 22:49:00 I know Win7 screws icons up once in a while. It used to show blank/empty icons for programs (that are still installed) on the taskbar here.

Before some update got installed (which fixed it), I had to go to %userprofile%\AppData\Local and delete iconcache.db, (you have to show all files), then either kill explorer.exe in task manager, then rerun it from task manager. Or reboot to fix it.

1113903 2010-07-16 02:19:00 Hmm, it seems windows has "lost" or cannot find the shortcut arrow. try this: www.sevenforums.com

to remove the shortcut arrows and see if the problem goes. if this does make the icons disappear that the SC arrows are the problem. if not well, ill think again
