NextStart - newbie question - using 10.3 beta

I've noticed that the proper program icons are missing from the replacement start menu and task bar. System icons are there.

For example, the internet and email icons are represented by a white page icon at the top of the start menu. If there is more than on instance of Firefox open, the task bar loses the orange icon and the group shows the plain white page icon as shown in the start menu.

Any ideas?

Running Win 7 64-bit. Icon packager is installed.

That's an IconPackager bug. You're seeing something like this, right?

For future reference, if the above fix doesn't work:

Go to 'Start' open run command, type in Regedit.
In the new window of Registry Editor go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex and delete the subkey/folder 'IconHandler'
