Guest Dennis Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I had a bad shut down and when I came back up, most of the icons have lost their images. I tried a couple of the fixes I saw in earlier posts, but nothing seems to help. I had high hopes for dougknox's regedit, but still nothing. Is there anything anyone else can think of? Thanks, Dennis
