Title pretty much, it's happening almost all the time, if the shortcuts aren't gone, then the custom images are. Does anyone know what causes this?

Came on today and couldn't see Far Cry 3, Sims 3 or Skse. :(

Such a pain!
 
Same thing was happening with me. I now exit steam before shutting down the comp and it doesn't seem to do it as much. Still happens when steam updates though :-/
 
I've always let it shutdown and sync before exiting my PC, yet still it deletes the custom images several times a week and the actual shortcuts at least once or twice. :(

I'm confused do you mean shortcuts on your desktop?

It's annoying isn't it, Steam has so many issues they just cba to patch out. :/

Both, if you have a shortcut in your library, and one on your desktop, they'll both disappear at the same time.
 
Same thing used to happen to me until I formatted and re-installed everything for the new hard drives. Perhaps you can try a clean install of Steam?
 
Same thing has happened to me repeatedly. I use add a non-steam game to steam, then shut down steam to ensure its saved. Then a few days later, all the shortcuts I've created are gone.
