Ok geniuses, how about these issues
I had some trouble installing and I am not sure if everything installed
correctly. Anyway, I have so far noticed the following issues--which may or may not be related. (1) The default icon for folders is the recycle bin for some reason. I have right clicked on the folder and went to properties-customize and change icon. It asks me if I want to apply these setting to all folders and I click yes. Then ok. However, nothing changes. The icon remains the recycle bin. (2) I want to change the default program that opens .rtf files from wordpad to something else. I right click on file.rtf and go to "open with". Then go to "choose a default program". Then I click on "browse". It opens up the "open with" box which just hangs. I left it hanging all night and nothing happened. (3) I can't get into the "Program Data" folder. It says access denied even though everyone has full access. Any thoughts?

Ok, problem #2 completely resolved by uninstalling Civilization IV. I can't
imagine how they are related, but somehow....I found solution to #3 elsewhere on this site. Anyway still looking for solutions to #1 "ayejay0601" wrote: I had some trouble installing and I am not sure if everything installed correctly.

Just to further clarify, the above error only occurs when I am in "list" or "details" or "small icons" view. The icons are fine in all other views.
