Allthe icons in my PC have gone mad just like I have shown in the screenshot below.

I have done everything which I think I was able to do, but to no use. I restarted my PC, did a full checkup using N-360, tried changing some of the icons from the properties, but to no effect.

Please help.

I did nothing. My li'l sis. tried to play a game, named element or so, after that, this happened.

I am having another problem. When I click on any drive in My Computer, the search dialog opens up. that means that the search has been set as default instead of open.

So, I am asking you to try to install tweakUI and use it to rebuild icons... Sometimes, when icons are corrupted, this will set it right...

Try Tune Up 09 trial>visual styler>rebuilt the icons. This should work.

All the icons, including those of drives, files and everything have gone.. Shell32.dll is present with all theicons in it, but none of them is pplicable. whenever I try to apply them, it says, internal error occured.

WinXP each user has their own icon cache file that is called Iconcache.db [this is hidden system file] located at

C:\Documents and Settings\<Your User Name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Iconcache.db

delete this file.

close all the explorer processes using task manager.

restart the explorer process using 'file->new task' in task manager,

reboot the system. new icon cache will be created fresh

Also, u can try increasing the size of icon cache by changing / creating this registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Explorer]
Max Cached Icons = 2048

(Range = 100-4096, Default = 512)

But it must show at least the icons for the executables. It treats them as a new file type.

Even executable files r being trated as new file types??

Have u tried all the avobe process??

Thn I'd suggest to repair using the XP Bootable CD

I think tats the ultimate option if u dont want to format.

Well......still wait for other members to reply......

if possible can u post a hijack this log?

hmm, I repaired it. Sorry.

my friend has another trouble.

All the drives on his HD do not open by default. rather they just pop-up a search window when clicked.

This might help your friend
