Plain .exe icons! wtf

GoldenSphynx · 22nd April 2003, 13:03

Something on my computer takes all the .exe's on my desktop and removes their icons. They are all left bare, using the standard DOS .exe icon. What could be causing it? Really pissing me off lately...

Download powertoys for xp if you havent already got it (you're running xp right?), run tweakui and go to the repair section. Select rebuild icons and click repair now.

With a bit of luck that'll fix it.
