Taskbar iconized folder buttons show the wrong little icon

I have an annoying problem with Vista's taskbar buttons and iconified windows not showing correct window miniatures anymore for drives, special folders with azure-green icons like Music, Documents etc., e.g. http://f.imagehost.org/0502/Immagine.jpg
Once I enter Documents\mydir for example the icon in the taskbar for that folder turns like that in the image instead of reflecting the folder mini-icon you're in at that moment!

There is nothing on the net about this kind of problem! I've Googled for hours! :(
Hope someone can help me to find and reset the correct key(s) in the registry.

This bug has been confirmed by other users and also after a clean install from MS DVD disks. It's a (minor) bug and has been reported to MS.

Here is how it should look like: http://f.imagehost.org/0269/Immagine.jpg
Here is what happens after a while: http://f.imagehost.org/0502/Immagine.jpg and the system starts using instead this ugly yellow folder+green arrow icon for all folders:
