Hi,
I checked the posts but tha kind of problem seems to be limited to the
desktop.
As for me it is all the microsoft icons in the whole computer that changed
into generic icons during the night with the PC still running.
As for the others the links to the programs still worked.
I changed back the icons in the properties on the desktop and in the folder
options>File Types but every time I got the following message:
Windows cannot find the file c:\windows\installer\{series of numbers and
letters}\"program"icons.exe, where program is one of the MS programs.
then back to shell32.dll and browse to the proper program.
So I only did it for the main ones and there are a lot more that are related
to these programs. And also I will have to put new shortcuts in the start
menu as they cannot be updated.
I did the kb/132668/en-us as suggested by Colin nash on 8/1/06, well the
first part recreating the shelliconcache but did not know how to do add the
registry line.
That did not change anything.
So I will appreciate if someone has an idea how to update all my icons
