• Word 2007 toolbars icons not showing - icon Cache problem?

  Announcement on behalf of my brother, he is using Word 2007 and is having a problem that when it opens, all the toolbars that are normally he presents, however, they have no icons.

  For example, he can click on the white square where the B for "BOLD" should be and it works fine, however the B is not there, the same for every icon on the tool bar, there the dropdown list font size, but not the icon saying size etc. Since he knows not all icons on all toolbars out of heart he has trouble using the program now.

  I was wondering if this could be a problem with the Office/Word icon Cache, but I don't have any idea how to solve this problem, in this case.

• Why should I remove every two or three days for correct display of the icon cache icon in Win7?

  The reason why I care about is, when I program an application with its own icon, is displayed another icon instead of the correct icon (apparently by a random selection of Windows 7). For example, the icon for Notepad, calc or MS Office Word, Excel, Powerpnt and so on... restart of the operating system function. And Windows shows wrong icon in the folder (or desktop) as "and" in the taskbar or in the window of the application.
  Anyone know what this might be caused by?
  In Win XP was not this problem and Microsoft cannot fix this in Win7, although the internet is full of it.
  Any ideas how to solve this problem of user environment (where Microsoft is not able or is lazy to solve this problem by programming) for longer than two days (or three with a bit of luck) to give advice to users of my apps how to show once for all correct icons?
  Because not all users of my application will rebuild icon cache (every two days) to detect the correct icon of my application.
  Thanks for any advice and sorry for my bad English.

  Method 2:

  Try to run Microsoft Safety Scanner for any spyware or malware infection.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• 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.

• Firefox * icon * is not anywhere for a standard user Windows 7 x 64

  I've created a normal user account for the person who would be using this system, then use Windows easy transfer to move files and settings from the old system of Windows XP account.

  I also created another ordinary account, for me to use as a third-party administrator-level account.

  When I use the account 'my ordinary', Mozilla app icons are displayed very well. The locations are: taskbar, menu start and in the opened Windows Explorer window on "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox" and "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Thunderbird»

  When I go to the other user account, all of the 'icons', in * all * areas, are white rectangles, with what looks like a chart 'generic window.

  It looks like to me a permissions problem, preventing the environment of the window to the reading of any file icon image, the image is stored in. I don't know the name of the file that contains the icon image, so I can't verify this. I can say Firefox and Thunderbird, both performed very well in all accounts.

  I just installed the "convenience store" add-on, but note that I did this since a properly installed and running as an admin user. He can't predict something useful.
