Desktop Icons

[bcpc43]

I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit and I have created several custom desktop
shortcuts using shell32.dll for the images. It was fine for about 2 weeks
but recently they all changed to a white page with a blue "E", similar to the
IE icon. Half of my desktop is now filled with these images and this
includes the hotmail icon. When I look at properties I see the image I
selected but it won't display. Sometimes I can change it to a different
image but I can't use the image I want. I even went to "windows explorer'
and found the correct hotmail shortcut and tried to send it to the desktop
but it just came up like the others. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks but the url didn't do anything. Nothing was wrong according to the
output.

Thanks. It helped to clear the cache but the icon is still wrong and won't
change. What I found was that by changing the desktop icons to clasic view
they all show correctly, just very small. I then changed from 90 dpi to 120
dpi and they are better.
