Q. Some of my Windows icons have disappeared and look like the default application icon. How can I fix this?
Here's an example of what it looks like:
A. This happens because the icon cache gets corrupted. There are several ways to fix this:
Solution #1:
1) Right-click on the desktop and select "Screen Resolution"
2) Under "Advanced Settings" select "Monitor" tab. In the colords drop down select a value other than what you have now (so if it is "True Color 32 bit" select "True Color 16 bit" and vice-versa).
3) Click "Ok" and and the icons should restore themselves.
4) Once the icons appear, you can repeat the steps 1-3 and revert back to whatever value you've had initially.
Solution #2:
You can also just delete the icons database:
1) Open Windows Explorer window and go to: %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local
2) Right click on IconCache.db and click on "Delete".
3) Once done, restart your computer. Your icons database will rebuild itself automatically.
