I create a Desktop shortcut to a website and assign a special icon to it.
When I then move the shortcut into a folder on the desktop (which already
contains other shortcuts), the assigned icon changes to a generic icon
inside the folder. If I move the shortcut back onto the desktop, the
assigned icon reverts back. What is going on here? How can I keep the same
icon that is on the desktop shortcut when moving the shortcut into a folder?

Thanks for any clues, ideas, etc.

Icon's path must be absolute....you can move shortcut everywhere...

You should clear icon cache by deleting *iconcache.db* located under
*C:\Users\[USER -NAME]\AppData\Local
*
make sure you enabled Show system hidden files.
