Done something silly... Vista Icons.

[Andrew Staley]

Ok, done something really silly. Some how Vista lost the icon for the music
folder (seems to occur when you use iTunes), and I tried to restore the
original icon without success.

So, I delete all the desktop.ini; thumbs.db; iconcache.db files that I could
find thinking that they would all be recreated with the default settings and
thus the default icons.

I was wrong, I now only have the plain yellow folders and not the nice
looking Vista icons. How can I restore the original Vista icons? I've
tried to do a chkdsk c: /f and changing colour depth none of which work.

Restoring to a previous version is also a no go, was this is a new install
and I've spent quite some time setting the machine up and copying/adjusting
files.

Thanks in advance, Andrew.

Ricght-click on an empty spot in the folder, then choose "customize this
folder".
