Hi

I have a problem with some missing icons in all my file open dialogs
In Wordpad's open dialog I select to see all files *.*
and then I browse to this path:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories
In that folder there is: MsPaint, SoundRecorder etc.
But on my Window 7 64 sp1. five of those shortcuts are showing the default
program icon eg: SoundRecorder, Sticky Notes etc..
If I browse to the same path in the Shell all the correct icons are there.
Anybody know anything about this ?

Maybe even what to do about it ?

Use another editor?

This is not about the editor, it is the same in all my file open dialogs
no matter what program I try.

I just gave the WordPad recipe so that anybody willing to try and confirm
could do so without to much trouble.

OK, I'm sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant every time you use
WordPad's Open dialog :-)

I was about to suggest finding a tool to clear the icon cache, but
after a moment's thought, I believe that relates only to desktop icons.

I also just realized that you refer to the "Shell". That would imply to
me the Command Window (by analogy to its meaning in Unix), and there
are no icons there. Do you mean Windows Explorer?

Anyway, I just looked here (also Win 7 64-bit), and my icons are the
same in Windows Explorer as in WordPad's Open dialog. That verifies
that something is different about your system, but I have no idea what
would cause that. I wish I could help.
