Shortcut Icons issues...

[soccermandude]

Hey everyone, recently all my icons on my desktop and in the start Menu have disappeared (except a few such as iTunes and MSWord).  I can't figure out what happened.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Computerhope soccermandude.


Have you tried right clicking on the desktop screen...when you get arrange icons...click Show Desktop Icons ? :-?

Sorry I said that wrong, all the real icons have disappeared so instead they all have the same icon.  Its the icon when windows doesn't recognize a program, I don't know how to describe it.

There is a program called 'TWEAK UI' for windows XP.

It may help you but,I am not really familiar with it.....

Haven't used it before.

Someone else will post soon. :-?

I believe your talking about the "unknown file" icon

are any of these icons a shortcut, is the program it is looking for in the proper directory.?

have you deleted any files lately?

When did this start? what anti-virus-spam have you used/runned?

Indeed.
Get TweakUI from here, and go to Repair --> Rebuild icons --> Repair now to restore all icons.
Hope this helps.

I was laughing about how Microsoft Lists something then...Disclaimer.


Note: We take great care to ensure that PowerToys work as they should, but they are not part of Windows and are not supported by Microsoft.

No problem.
I use TweakUI myself, it's pretty useful.
And yes, the way M$ lists Powertoys is quite funny.
I think they were created by independent programmers not for M$, and then M$ bought the programs and hosted them on its site.
Something like that?

"runned" is a word depending on what part of the country you are in, and so is "gooder" wich is "more better" than "Good"

So even though( betterestin'of'um'all) is a singe word the way we talk to
our friends.......we are expected to work on our grammar while responding
at this great site.

I spell wrong and punctuate stupid some times.I have a 9th grade education.

Wich in our language is half of a sandwich.

If I didn't have PeckerWood for my conscience I would do (badder)worse.

I still enjoy your posts and the 'hey there buddy'way we get along.

So don't pull a Smackdown on me ,or I'll tell on you. :-?

Only place I could find your movie Fat_Basterd21.
