hi mike

a quick (and hopefully effective) thing to try is to right-click the desk top and select 'refresh'.

if that doesn't do it, rebooting often will.

as an interim thing to try (between the two noted above), is to click start/settings/control panel/system

sometimes i've been able to restore icons just by doing that.

let us know

:)

Erase the file ShelliconCache in the Windows folder.

Windows puts your icons in this single file for quick access. Sometimes Windows gets them confused. If you erase the file, Windows creates a new copy, without the errors.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. It's a hidden file. In Explorer, click View, Folder Options, View tab. The Hidden box to check is about 2/3 the way down the list.
