What program did you install that caused the problem? What do the folder icons look like now? Does this effect 'every' folder on the system or just certain folders? Have you checked with the maker of that program? -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "seajamit" wrote in message ... can u help me plz because i installed a faulty program and now folder icons have been lost. i know i could live with this but it is really getting on my nerves!!! -- Jamie

You also didn't say what that program's tech support people said. No one can address your issues specifically without that information.

We cannot see your computer, so we rely on you to give details about what you see. You say it only affects certain icons, which icons? Default icons are associated with the file types. A file type is designated by it's file extension, such as .GIF, .JPG, .EXE, ..AVI, etc. Each file type will have a different default icon. Which file types are not displaying the proper icon? -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience

details: type: File Folder there is nothing in the folder. If i put a new folder inthe folder icon is still not correct and i can identify the icon it now displays it i: a icon that doesnt know the program associated i think. -- Jamie "Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote: "seajamit" wrote in message ... i understand that u need the info to help me but isnt there any way i can put a new default icon as it only affected certain icons -- Jamie Jamie We do understand the problem you are having, the problem is that you just refuse to provide any details?
