Tried it. No change.
Thanks
:
: Kind of a wild guess, but do an explorer search for IconCache.db
:
: Under Windows XP it's in c:\Documents and Settings\username\Local
: Settings\Application Data
:
: It'll be a hidden file. Copy it to another folder or your desktop,
then
: delete the original and restart the PC.
:
: Another possibility is to rightclick the desktop, change your Settings
from
: 32-bit to, say, 16-bit color. Restart the PC. Then switch it back
and
: restart again.
