  • How to restore the icon of Disk Defragmenter

    I had move the icon of the desktop Disk Defragmenter. However, I accidentally deleted. Also, I ran a disk cleanup after deleting it. I realize only the next day. Now when I try to use Disk Defragmenter, it indicates the shortcut cannot be found. When I search for (defrag.exe) and when I try to open it, a window opens that is black with a few words and then disappears. Are there other ways for me to recover or create a new shortcut so I can use the Disk Defragmenter?

    I accidentally deleted the icon of internet explorer on my taskbar. I tried to restore my system to an earlier time, and then the icon appeared.

  • How to restore the icon of Firefox missing in Win 7 C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox

    New computer that is running Windows 7. Don't install FF no problem. But the icon then disappears in the Start Menu and the taskbar.

    When I go to the location of the program C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox it is only the icon generic firefox.exe.

    Program that seems to work very well, but it's embarrassing. Thanks for the help.

    I guess you mean keep the Firefox shortcut on the taskbar and Start Menu, and it's just the icon that looks like a generic Windows icon. If so, clear the cache of your icon:

  • How to restore the icons of windows 7 original for shortcuts

    Hello

    I use Windows 7 Professional. In a completely unexpected way (probably after installing Nero essentials 8) pictures of my shortcut (with the classic arrow) icons have changed. Now ALL my shortcuts are represented with the same icon files that are not associated with any program (generic icon).  Now, it is very difficult to distinguish things and to distinguish between files and programs.

    Notice that this happens only with the shortcuts, all other icons are good.

    IconCache.db is no longer available in Windows 7, or at least I can't.

    I don't even know if it's a problem of cache if the icon itself of shortcuts is damaged or missing.

    I tried restoring the system five times, I try every restorepoints that would be prior to the problem, but it does not solve.

    Is it possible to solve the problem without having to reinstall windows?

    Sincerely

    Hello

    problem solved. Manager was a tweaker tweaker "EnhanceMySe7en. After a software update of the tweaker, it configured itself to not display the arrows on shortcuts. What made the photo of these icons didin't show correctly. It also makes the iconcache.db file unavailable. I solved the problem by setting her the right way.

    Look in the Device Manager to see if there is a problem with your sound device driver. If there is, reinstall it from your computer manufacturer's Web site.
