If the "folder" w/o the web folder icon opens as a FP disc based web in FP ignore the lack of the icon
- it's a Windows Explorer issue and representation tool
The icon on the web folder comes from the desktop.ini file in the root web folder which contains:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=_vti_pvt/fpdbw.ico
IconIndex=0
ConfirmFileOp=0
InfoTip=Stores your local web site
(same as many of your other special folder have unique icons)
That means in Windows Explorer uses the Windows icon named fpdbw.ico in the _vti_pvt folder (part of every FP web) to display the
folder
If both files are there, it is the Windows constraint preventing the display
Windows Explorer has a constraint on how many icons it uses for special folder and often "looses" the icons
