faulty program caused my computer to lose icons
The 'original' stuff is elsewhere in the registry. This key doesn't exist
on a Vista system by default, but if it does, it overrides the 'original' settings. -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] "seajamit" wrote in message ... Mr Miller, thanks for the solution but how am i supposed to get the original stuff back???

You also didn't say what that program's tech support people said. No one can address your issues specifically without that information. In lieu of providing that, consider doing a System Restore to before you installed the Mystery Program. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |
