Doug Knox MS-MVP --- Icon problem still
Yes I installed SP1 right after the upgrade to XP Pro. I
thought maybe the .dll was corrupted due to those missing icons in it already, but you said those were normal? -----Original Message----- I'm still looking into this one The only thing that comes to mind is a corrupt copy of Shell32.dll Have you installed SP1, yet? -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Its missing from the quick launch shortcut I made, its missing from the Explorer tree view, its missing from the "my computer" view as well as the Start Menu/Settings. The text is there, just not the picture. Anyone heard of this before? Also, the "Printers and Faxes" icon is missing as well. The text is still there and I can access the printers, its just the picture that is missing. Very annoying and I've looked all through the registry with no luck. Any help? Thanks. . |

They're normal on my system, but that doesn't mean that your version isn't
damaged. You can find a copy of the XP SP1 Shell32.dll file in the Windows\ServicePackFiles\I386 folder. You can backup your original copy that's in the Windows\System32 folder, if you wish, then replace it with the one in the Service Pack Files folder. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I didn't even know there was a copy of the SP1 on my
computer. I checked out the difference between what is in the SP copy and in the Windows/system32 folder. The SP copy is dated newer (12/3/02 compared to 11/27/02) and the SP copy is 7.95 megs compared to 7.85 megs. I will copy the SP copy over (after a backup of the current one) and see what a reboot brings. -----Original Message----- They're normal on my system, but that doesn't mean that your version isn't damaged.

If its not too late, could you click the version tab in the Properties sheet
and compare the two? -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
