It pretty much depends on the system. Since you posted from a PC (at
least that's what the headers of your post says), I can't guess...
Under MacOS 9: rebuild the desktop holding the command key at startup.
Under MacOS X you should use one of the several disk utilities that can
do the job for you. They will trash the User and System Cache files. I
usually use TinkerTool System or Cocktail to do that. You'll need to
reboot right afterwards. Most file will lose their icons but they will
all get them back as you launch the corresponding applications and the
system rebuilds it's cache.

You think you have problems? One of my pdfs got a picture of a 1928Larry Farwell said:
stationary diesel engine for an icon.
hitting cmd-opt-esc brings up the "force quit applications" panel.
Select the finder from the list. You will notice that the "force quit"
jellybean changes to "relaunch". Hit it without fear. In a few seconds
your icon *might* be repaired.
I miss the little stationary engine.

Log-out and back in would be a cleaner way to do the same thing, but if
the cache file is corrupted, the problem will come back :-\

Corentin (and others),
X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000
in the source headers does not mean someone is writing from a PC. It means
they're using Microsoft's rather awful web browser interface for the
newsgroups, on any computer and browser. That Interface must be resident on
a Windows 2000 server.
To those of you who prefer accessing news by web browser, it's much nicer to
do it through Google's web interface. You can get to the various mac.office
newsgroups on Google from here:
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups>
But you'll get quicker access and better organization if you subscribe to a
newsgroup in Entourage or a dedicate newsreader. In Entourage, click on the
Microsoft News Server icon in the Folders List. Type "mac.office" (no
quotes) in the little window. (I've added .office to avoid a bunch of
deprecated newsgroups whose names sound like the correct current ones).
Command-click the newsgroups to select the ones you want. Click "Subscribe"
button. Now look back in your folders list. You'll see the newsgroups. Click
on one it access it and there you are.

Arghhhhh I would have thought that MS would at least use Windows Server
2003... That's what fooled me :-( Anyway, what I mentioned still holds:
the post was sent *through* a PC (if not from ;-) ).
Yeah, the Google site is a lot more Mac friendly
)I couldn't agree more...

Funny thing.. .If you follow the links in the support section of
Mactopia, the web-interface links all point to google.. None of them use
the Newgroups Web Interface MS now offers :->

To be precise, it's the Macintosh Business Unit, who run Mactopia, not
recommending the regular Microsoft Web portal for Mac users. And, yes, that
does inspire confidence that the MacBU know what they're doing.

I couldn't agree more... I took a look at a few more posts coming from
the MS web-newsgroup tool and there are several oddities about them.
Beside the fact many messages are not sent using plain text, they are
not wrapped properly... Not very compliant to the usenet standards :-\
