This application is made by NSIS , after installing this app , I find that the icon of uninstall 's shortcut disappeared . But when I went to the start menu's folder , the whole three shortcuts were all existed. I tried to create other app's shortcut here and they can all displayed at start menu . Why does't windows show the shortcut icon ? What's the start menu display principal?

    Open:

    C:\Users*Your USER ACCOUNT*\AppData\Local

    or use the environment variable

    %localappdata%

    (make sure hidden files/folders are visible)

    Delete iconCache.db (hidden file)

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc
    Restart Windows Explorer or, reboot the PC.

    The icons should be back to normal.
