icons not displaying properly in windows
Sometimes due to few installations, you feel like the folder / file icons are not being displayed the way it should be, i am sharing you the way of solving such problem. Here's a slightly quicker version of the instructions. 1. Press Ctrl-Shift-Escape to get the task manager. 2. In the Processes tab, click on explorer.exe and click End Process. You'll get a confirmation dialog. Click "End Process" to confirm. 3. From the File menu (still in the task manager), choose New Task (Run...). 4. Copy/paste/enter the following command in the run box: Code: cmd /c del %userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db /a 5. Open the Run box again with File --> New Task (Run...). This time, enter this command: Code: explorer.exe 6. All should be okay now. Open the Start Menu and confirm that your icons are fixed now.
