View Full Version : Files lost their images

I am running Win XP Pro SP 2, and today when I turned on my machine I noticed that all my media files (mp3, wma, mpg...) and shortcuts to certain programs (MS Office, Photoshop, Partition Magic...) lost its images. By that I mean that these files look like those files that windows does not recognize.

The files and shortcuts work fine ( when I double click on some song it does open up in Winamp).

Any way what is causing this problem and how can I fix it ?

Reinstaling the programs does not fix this problem, neither does running Registry Mechanic.

Sounds like typical icon cache corruption...
