All icons are empty, menu start does not open.

Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit

All my icons have been wasted, for example the shortcut arrows resembled recycle bins. I was advised to use a Reconstructor IconCache.db (which deletes the file so it can be recreated at startup). However, it seems as IconCache.db don't will not recreate. I tried to make a blank IconCache.db file and even use another from an installation of Windows Vista, but the problem persisted.
I tried various .reg files and fact ' sfc/scannow ' and the problem persists.
Cannot find the IconCache.db file in % userprofile%\AppData\Local, despite the fact that all hidden files are displayed. The problem persists in safe mode, as well as in other accounts/user profiles.
Thank you

I have no problem at the opening of the shortcuts, they open fine.

However, after 2 days, I managed to come up with my own difficulty.
* Requires *: Windows 7 installation disc, 7-zip
* Place your windows installation disc into your CD drive.
* Open from my computer
* Go in the * sources folder
* Using 7 - Zip, right click on * install.wim* and open
Archives.
* Either the 3 folder (if the Home Premium). If you don't, go ahead
* In 7 - Zip, click on the users folder, then Administrator > AppData > Local
* Extract IconCache.db in the folder **%userprofile%\AppData\Local\** to your PC
* If you don't see any effect yet, or kill explorer.exe and restart, log and turn off or restart the PC.

  • CC of Adobe icon in the menu bar does not open

    The icon of Adobe CC swirly in the menu bar will not be open. I use Mac OS 10 Yosemite.

    As a side note, I figured out that clicking Applications > utilities > Adobe Installers gets allows you to access programs to uninstall for older versions of Adobe CS (I want to delete older versions of CS on my laptop because they take place and I only need the latest version of CC). And when you click an uninstall program, the icon of Adobe CC swirly in the menu bar opens to the old version of Adobe Application Manager. I suspect, it attempts to open an older version that is not there. And if this is the case, I need to run the new version of Adobe Application Manager to get the icon in the menu bar to join in the latest version. But I don't know where he is.

    Clues?

    Well, I got it fixed me.

    I uninstalled older versions of CS, restarted the computer and went to: Applications > utilities > Adobe Creative Cloud > VAC > CreativeCloud and manually launch the application manager.

Files appear but they were no match for them, and when I try to open, windows image viewer says: the file is empty. I changed the name of the file for my photos (replaced by A - my images to put at the top of the list in alphabetical order) which someone told me can mess things up (if this is the case, a pop-up window should probably stop change me?), so I changed it back.
