The most usual reason that causes icons not to change is
the screen being set to the wrong colour quality (ie 16
bit instead of 32 bit etc).
I'm adding this reply in case other searches find it (as
I did when having the same problems).
If an icon is 32 bit and the setting is for 16 bit, the
icon will revert back to default and cannot be changed
back without resetting the display to 32 bit. A change
to 32 will make the original icon appear on the desktop
again with no other changes required.
Took me hours to find out why half my icons had reverted
to the boring default ones.
Tweak32 will not help in this case (rebuild icons).
Hope this helps someone.

You didn't notice this thread is FOUR YEARS OLD.

You didn't trim your quotes.

You posted your response upside down.

High marks for enthusiasm, nil for accuracy.


No, actually, it's quite accurate in content, and good information except
for lack of OS. So what if it's old? It's still an answer to a question.

HTH,
