Lost my icons
This is a discussion about Lost my icons in the Windows Software category; Real curious one this. . . I was playing with a theme program. . . I decided after about five seconds it was crap and uninstalled it. Unfortunately, some of my system icons have now vanished, and been replaced by the default windows icon for an unrecognised format.
Real curious one this...
I was playing with a theme program... I decided after about five seconds it was crap and uninstalled it.
Unfortunately, some of my system icons have now vanished, and been replaced by the default windows icon for an unrecognised format.
I've repaired most of them by digging into the registry, but some are still alluding me, in particular the Printer Folders icon in Control Panel...
Is there an app I can grab of the net to help me out here (Already tried X-Setup but that didn't really work)
Thanks...

Have you tried TweakUI's 'Rebuild Icons'? It's under the Repair tab.

Unfortunately, that was the first thing I tried which was unsuccessful. I've got it down to just the Printer Folder Icon in Control Panel now....
Can't quite fix it....

yeah ive heard of a similar problem with people getting only 16-bit color icons. This might be a way to fix the problem but make sure you backup your explorer.exe before doing this.
Search this forum for a hack to get icons to display in 32 bit color and that might help your problem.
