Missing icons in my vista games folder

I was wondering if there's anything I can do to get icons back in my games
folder in windows vista home premium. I click on games in my vista start
menu, it brings up all the games on my system and now I"m missing some of the
icons. for example my supreme commander game now has a generic icon than the
specific icon for the game. I've tried going into the edit menu and changing
it back but it will not reset.

RE: Missing icons in my vista games folder

I used have the same problem on Vista Ultimate on some random icons.. some of
them are generic ones and some of them seem to have changed to a random icon.
For example: Mortal Combat 4 changed from a low-res logo icon to the Windows
'Ease of Access' icon found in Control panel. This went away after a while
though.... seemed to have fixed itself.

It might be worth installing the KB938194 update which is a generic
'compatibility and reliability' hotfix update. You should be able to find
this on the Microsoft Download Site.
