Solved Help Folder Icons

hval007 · Apr 15, 2009

hi,

The folder icons on my windows vista have all turned to recycle bin icons for some reason!
I cant do a system restore as the problem has been on the system for a while now.
I googled the problem but didnt find a solution.

Any help will be much appreciated.

hi garysgold,

I tried both both the methods but neither work.
Any other suggestion??

Thanks.

Nothing that I have much faith in. That was supposed to work.

. First I try method one in that tutorial while in safe mode( info. if needed http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/123496-safe-mode.html), just to make sure. After the reboot, if things still mugged up, I'd probably try this http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66978-system-files-sfc-command.html

Hi,

You could try this:

Rt click the folder>Properties>Customize, then restore defaults, Apply , OK

EDIT: I just remembered, the free Winbubble should be able to restore Icon Defaults for you - saves doing it one at a time:

Hope it helps

hi guys,

Yes the WinBubble app truly works and it solved my problem with the icons.
Thanks alot.

I have a problem with the network in vista and i have listed this problem in the forum but have got no feedback. Here is a link if you guys can have a look at it.
