How can I change my icons for vista file extensions?

Recently for some reason any I just noticed that my icons for file extensions under the symbol icon mp3 music just normal to an icon with a video symbol and a note of music in the same icon. It really bothers me because I'm starting to confuse some of my files, because I think the videos are songs and vice versa. Can someone help me change that?

Try to rebuild your icon cache: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117229-icon-cache-rebuild.html.  I do not know what will solve the problem in this case because you didn't really explain how the icons changed in the first place, but he frequently works with similar problems.

If this does not work, try the following:

Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files (possibly including the icons - once again depending on how they have been changed).  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files usinghttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

I hope this helps.  Otherwise, after return and tell me what happened and we'll see what we can try.

Good luck!

  • How can I change an icon for example VLC on a miniature of the film

    Caused by a virus, I had to format my laptop, Media Inc to Dell Inspiron 17200 Windows Vista SP1 Home premium. All movies that are stored on a hard disk of ext WD and already showing a thumbnail image of the film have been replaced by a VLC icon. Also the new downloaded movies display the icon and not a miniature image of the film. How can we get the thumbnails.

He said it was because the windows media player had not read VLC codex. We downloaded a pack of softonic codex and now all the thumbnails are back. Thanks a lot for your help and advise that it means many things to those who like me Don t know too have a place to turn to. Keep up the good work. Thank you very much, Al

  • How can I change an icon in my taskbar in Windows Vista?

    How can I change an icon in my taskbar in Vista

    Thank you. I placed the folder on my desktop and then changed the icon. Then I moved the icon (which did NOT show the new icon - just a file photo), to the quick launch. I think I just clicked and clicked on properties and then the icon HE chose displayed, I clicked on it Ant then display many icons displayed and then I found the icon who had chosen before was in the displayed list. Then clicked on it and then apply and it worked. Without doing this way many icons display never came and I didn't and still don't know why. But with your recommendations, I was somehow able to change the icon. Thank you for your help.

  • How can I change explore the way Vista...

    1. How can I change the way to Vista Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) highlights a selected item or folder?  At the moment it is transparent and not discernible from the background.
    2. is it possible to have Vista's Explorer expand a folder with a single click as XP, closing the folder previously expanded (in the folders pane) If Yes, how can I do this?
    3. How can I remove the links from above the folder column in Explorer?  It is a waste of space for me.
    **. Why Microsoft put links in a folder to the folders in this folder?  All I get is 'click to access the folder' and then a message that I don't have access rights to the folder.  It is a stand alone and I'm the only operator on this subject.  WTF?

    As a note to those maintaining the forum, by moving in IE8 Favorites bar, external USB HARD drive no longer works, CAP12 could not extract..., problems with SystemRestore aren't somehow related or similar to my question.

  • How can I change a surround for a stereo typical project project?

    How can I change a surround for a stereo typical project project in logic pro x?

    Logic has a strange way to switch between a stereo project and a Project Surround, because there is no surround sound simple on/off switch.

    Here's how it works:

    If the output of at least a Channel Strip is set to Surround sound, the project will then move to surround (with lots of changes, you need to be aware of). Restored the outputs stereo will pass the stereo project.

    Hope that helps

    Just answer (Email removed by mod)

    You don't have to log in to Firefox. Firefox is just a browser, such as Internet Explorer. Everything you have to do is double-click it and open it. It's like Internet Explorer. If you have some sort of password extension protecting your Firefox, it's different and you need to contact the developer of the extension.

Then click on change password. We'll then spend your AppleID password. If it is the password you speak when you try to download apps.
