I keep my favorites shortcuts on a flash drive ,in the last month I've noticed that the icons for the shortcuts don't show up on the flash drive just the name of the page shows and where the shortcuts icon should be is a box & 3 colored dots, however on some of them but not all after I open a favorites page the icon will show for awhile usually for a day or two and then the icon is gone again and it's back to the box & dots,I thought maybe the flash drive was going bad so I bought a new one and went to some of the favorites websites and then saved them to my favorites folder on the computer then saved the shortcuts to the new flash drive but when I checked the new flash drive it showed the same box & dots but no icons just like my other flash drive did,I also tried to install adobe flash player thinking that might be the problem but I'm not sure if it installed since I can't find it in the programs list but yet it does show up in the programs to uninstall list,like I said the shortcuts will open but I'm just wondering what's causing this as I have never encountered this before with any of my other flash drives, any ideas out there ?
