| | Restore Default Icons in Vista Is there any way to restore the original desktop icons in Vista? Mine were somehow changed and I just want to get them back to normal. They no longer pop out when you scroll over them and some of them are smaller and have boxes around them and a blue arrow in the bottom left corner. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't wat to restore the system to a previous date because I have downloaded things that I do not want to lose by doing that. Thanks in advance! |

| | Re: Restore Default Icons in Vista Right-click in any empty area on the desk-top and select `Personalise`.In the new window that appears,select `Theme`.In the dialog box,select `Windows Vista` from the drop-down menu.Click on `Apply` and then `OK`.You would probably want to save your current theme before doing this,using the `Save As` button available in the dialog box.

| | Re: Restore Default Icons in Vista I tried this and it did not work. The icons stayed as they were. Any more suggestions?
