    Hi to all.

    I'm using fulltime the IE9 beta on my windows 7 pc. One of the coolest features of IE9 is the taskbar website pinning, which puts a bigger resolution icon of the website in the shortcut. Some sites display the big icon with no problem, but when I want to pin facebook to the taskbar, It wont display the big icon anymore, it shows a tiny facebook logo with a big blank square, that look ugly on my taskbar.

    When I installed IE9 beta back in Sept 15, I immediately pinned the facebook site to the taskbar and displayed a nice big icon. Due to several problems, I uninstalled and reinstalled the IE9 beta, but when I tried to pin the facebook page again, the icon went tiny.

    I tried to delete cookies, history, restore the browser to a default state, but nothing.

    Is it problem of my IE9 install or facebook's website?

    Thanks in advance...

    PD: The jumplist items of the pinned facebook shortcuts work just fine, it's only the icon.

    Yes, but It's only a platform preview, no UI. I'm using the beta.
