Vista - Icon Cache - Rebuild

Hello Godly Llame, and welcome to Vista Forums.

That is only if you had a problem with the EXE files opening as something else other than what they should be or not at all.

Could you post back more details on what problem you are having?

I tried the second method, but it doesen't work for me And I cant do the first one because - I DONT HAVE Iconcache.db FILE!!! HOW??? Please help me out?? I've attached snapshot of desktop. And I replaced icon for MSN with some icon from Windows because it was most like the real icon. And the file named Pi was blank from forever.

Hello Marko, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You may not have done step 1 in METHOD ONE to unhide the system files to see it.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

P.S.
You should post this at our sister site Windows 7 Forums instead though since this is for Windows 7 instead of Vista for the best help with it.

Hey, I now did the first way correctly, infact I did it 3 times lol, but it still doesent work I first (after doing correctly the method one, thanks) saw two iconcache files: iconcache(without .db) and other file named iconcache.db_17 (???). So I deleted iconcache.db_17 and reboteed and it didnt work, but then i remembered i didnt empyet the recycle bin haha, and then i emptyed it and rebooted again, but still didnt work, then i remembered i didnt deleted iconcache file, so i deleted it with Shift+del combination, and then rebooted and still didnt work, then i went again to ...\appdata\local and then i saw normal iconcache.db file and deleted it with Shift+del combination and then reboteed, but it still didnt work. And, that isn't real Windows 7, thats just theme pack i made isn't it good? and im just 13... lol anyway, what should i do now? Before, there was Safari icon missing also, but then I repaired it with its setup (it had option repair), so do you think it could work for other programs?

Maybe, but you might see if creating new shortcuts directly from the program's exe files may work first though.

I've also tried that, when I go on the right click on the icon--->properties--->change icon it says:
"Windows cannot find the file
%SystemRoot%\Installer\{5...\googleearth.exe1_407B5CDAC54F44A756B57CaB4E6A8B.exe." and then it takes me to pick an icon from Shell32.dll. Is that it? I know it isn't replacing from exe file, but since in the error says "exe" I think it means it tries that immideatlley?

Na, you would most likely need to go directly to the C:\Program Files folder that has the programs's exe file and right click on the exe file and click on Send to - Desktop (create shortcut) to create a new shortcut from it instead.

Thanks man, you're the best! Now it's ok, but the icons for documents of Microsoft Office 2007 are missing, how do I fix that?

Mark,

I'm happy to hear it's going good so far. You might see if making sure that the different Office applications are set as the default programs with all of their association may help. If not, then reinstalling Office to repair the installation may do it.

The Microsoft Office Word 2007 doesn't show himself at the list, what do I do? Do I have to reinstall the office?
