Brenda2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 They just showing a blue square. Here is a screenshot of what I mean. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it?

Moderators Andavari Posted October 12, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 12, 2007 Usually icons go to the generic program icon blue/white like that when the associated program no longer exists. Just an assumption; with that many dead icons I'd almost think an anti-malware (antivirus, antispyware) program had just cleaned a bunch of rogue programs off your system, or allot of stuff hasn't been uninstalled correctly. If they're dead links to no longer existing programs CCleaner can and will auto-magically remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Oh ok so it's not a big deal if they are still working I'm assuming. They are still working as far as I know. Thanks so much! You guys are my new husbands..lol (Big shot Comcast guy who knows nothing!)

Moderators Andavari Posted October 12, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 12, 2007 Oh so the icons work, then that's an IconCache issue. Here's how to get them to display the proper picture again: Download Dial-a-fix. Click Tools (it's the hammer icon). Highlight Flush Icons, then click the GO button.

Brenda2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Didn't work my friend, any other options? Brenda Mom of 4: Chris 17, Mikayla 11, JJ 6, and Elias 23 months LOVES Piriform Forums more than her husband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 12, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 12, 2007 The only other thing I can think of (here comes some tedious crap that will take you forever): 1. Right click each icon, select the Shortcut tab, then copy (CTRL+C) the Target path that's listed, then click Change Icon. 2. In Change Icon: Paste (CTRL+V) the path, if an icon is listed in the main program it will be the first icon shown at the top-most left. If no program icon is available you can instead use some extra Windows icons by replacing the Paste operation in #2 with: "%windir%\system32\shell32.dll" -or- Find some freeware replacement icons at: * Iconaholic * WinCustomize (misc icons pages) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
