Default Missing shortcut icons can anybody confirm ?


"Asger Joergensen" wrote in message ...
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 ?


When you are in Wordpad and you browse to the Accessories folder, if you right-click the icon
for the Sound Recorder and select 'Properties' and select the Shortcut tab you should see this
path in the Target:

%SystemRoot%\system32\SoundRecorder.exe

If you click on the 'Change Icon...' button you should see the same path
in the 'Look for icons in this file' box.
Below that should be the mic icon.
MsPaint has this path: %windir%\system32\mspaint.exe
Snipping Tool has this path: %windir%\system32\SnippingTool.exe
Is that what you see?
