    O.k., I gave Chrome another try, but it doesn't look too promising...

    Now the issue has to do with the Win7 jumplists that you get when right-clicking on the pinned taskbar icon (or the jumplist in the start menu). The jumplist got corrupted somehow, and all items only show the default "missing icon" icon. When I delete those entries, it looks like the jumplist is not updated anymore, and nothing I tried has brought it back to life. Does anyone know a solution to this? A complete re-install did not solve the problem, even after I had deleted all files and registry entries for Chrome that I could find.

    O.k., to answer my own question: Turns out that you should never, ever try to edit Chrome's jumplist (by clicking "Remove from this list"). If you do, the list gets corrupted, and will not be updated anymore, ever. The only solution I have found is to unpin the taskbar icon, blow away the entire UserData folder in Chrome's installation directory, and start over... :eek:
