... After installing automatic updates after rebooting I found half my desktop icons were just black squares, after testing I discovered that KB 936825 was causing the problem has any one had the same problem or knows of an answer. The only time I had this problem was when I used one method available on the web to remove the arrow from shortcut icons. The blank.ico file caused shortcut icons on the desktop to be a black squares. The blank.ico file was obtained from: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...windows-vista/ The method described on that page involded modifying the REG_SZ entry "29" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer\Shell Icons Restoring its default value fixed the problem. Since then I have used Vista Shortcut Overlay Remover from Frameworkx to make the arrow smaller, and it works fine. I should note that I experienced this problem /before/ applying update 936825. I have not tried using the first method I described since installing that update. -- David Dickinson eveningstar at die-spammer-die dash mvps dot org Please reply only to the newsgroup, not by email.
