View Full Version : Icons changing after crash

Hello,

IE crashed on me (while playing the Yahoo Launch Cast), and afterwards, all
my icons in the quick launch bar, Outlook, and IE are the older, large
clunky-looking icons (win 98 looking?).

I've rebooted, but the problem is still here. I also went into the
properties of the taskbar and checked to make sure 'use small icons' is set,
which it is.

Any idea how I can get my small, non-visualy offensive icons back? They
really bother me in Outlook and IE.

Hi,

Open this hidden folder:

%Userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data

Locate and delete Iconcache.db
