| | Icons missing! Replaced with the "unkown file" icon. I installed an icon changing program, and it turned out it didn't support Vista. Instead it removed many of my icons - for example the Excel document icon. I reinstalled Office to fix that. BUT - I don't have icons for my media files, some folders and many other common file types. How do I undo what this program did without doing a system restore? Is there a tool that can fix this? |

Is there a tool that can fix this? You might try running the "sfc /scannow" (no quotes) command in a elevated command prompt. If may repair the files for you. You can see how to use it in this tutorial. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66...tem-files.html Shawn |
