Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / February 2006Icons Blackened or Blotched
My icons on my taskbar, and in my documents folders have become either blotched and or darkened to black. Is there a way to fix this and/or re-establish the icons to their original status After running your latest (updated) AV utility and checking that you haven't got a virus then try the following:- First - make sure that you have your Folder Options set so that you can view System files and folders, and Hidden Files. Then - Open Windows Explorer and go to c:\Windows - look there for the file called 'ShellIconCache'. DELETE IT reboot, and windows will rebuild the file. If that doesn't fix it, then you'll probably need to increase the size of the cache - download and install the 'IconCache Fix' from http://www.aumha.org/reg1.htm Mart > My icons on my taskbar, and in my documents folders have become either > blotched and or darkened to black.
