Icons messed up!

[Imwintergreen]

Hey guys...

I've got a lil problem - when Windows explorer opened - the library shows up - but the actual image for the icons are not there anymore - i get to see them when i select the view to large and extra large icons and content.. Most of the icons in the side panel of the explorer windows are also screwed up...

Pls help.

Ive attached a pic of my explorer view...

Thanks..
Winter

You could try to rebuild the icon cache. You'll need to end the explorer.exe process from task manager, then load the command prompt (run cmd.exe from task manager) and run the following:

CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a
EXIT

You can then run explorer.exe again to get your familiar windows back.
